Well guys i took my dakota off road for the 1st time after putting the 35's under it and it did great. beleive it or not, i didnt rub at all expect for rubbing on the frame when turning the wheel all the way. but it does that on the road, as for flex and all goes, i didnt have any problem with rubbing. check out the pics on my cardomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/id/lilthurmy03

Dally, ive had them cranked about 10 months i think and havent had any problems. ive talked to guys on here who have had problems with in a couple months, and ive talked to guys who have had them cranked for years and still no problems. the ride is a little rougher now. Vegas, read the rest. downgraded to a smaller rim but it works great. still dont believe me? i can take a pic for you of the actual tire size on the tire. im not the only one on this board who has done this. v8lum was the 1st, and i just followed in his footsteps. see yall!

Not saying I dont believe ya bro!

All I see is that you have a 3" body lift plus another inch with the blocks and torsions cranked, that makes 4" approx.

I never have seen anyone manage to squeeze 35's on our trucks with only that much hieght!

Sh!t, if its possible, I'll be doing the same thing!

How much rubbing you got?

Vegas, yeah i highly suggest doing it! the only rubbing i have is when the steering wheel is at full crank. so if you dont mind losing just a little turn radius, then go for it! but you will have to do a little trimming on the front (not much). and a 16x10 rim wont work, because thats what i had at 1st and it wouldnt work. but the 16x8 works great. i had 33's on 16x10 and when i went to 35's and 16x8's i didnt have to do anymore trimming then what i had already done. check out V8Lum's post. its on page 4 of the old threads under "Got me some 35's". thats got everything you need to know.
