[85_ramcharger]

anyone know how much of a lift i would need to put a set of 35" tires on a 1985 ramcharger.

Really depends on the truck, I have a 4" lift with 33's. I could probably stick 35's under there but it would be tight...probably too tight. I am intending on going up in tire size, but I'm planning a shackle flip to gain a couple of inches. For planning purposes, I would say a least 5 or 6...and I'd lean towards 6. But then you might have to modify your brake lines and possibly the driveshafts.

all you need is 4 inches and a little fender trimming /
dont forget the GOLDEN rule of wheeling - as big a tire with as low a lift as you can get
works off the theory of gravity and the center there of

6in lift is what i would go with, which will require new driveshafts and longer brake lines, new steering pieces (dropped pitman, raised steering, or crossover) and some other small stuff.

Yep 6in is the way togo. i have 35 with a four inch lift and off road they rub. but with a handy hammer u can fix it. lol

I run 4" susp lift on mine stk brakelines and d-shafts with 35" tires and only had to trim a 1/2" off the front side of the front wheel well only because i went to 10" wheels for improved stance.If i had 8" wheels probably wouldnt rub at all.Just remember wheel width affects rubbing etc almost as much as tire diameter.

I have a 4" and 35's on 10" wheels and I don't rub at all. No problems whatsoever

If yur not afraid of a sawzall, my 77 is running 35's with no lift. Not sure about the 80's & up R/Cs though.
