wheel tire question - need help
Ok so first off my head hurts from thinking about all of this.
Here's my deal, I got a 3" PA body lift for nothing through a guy i work with, on top of that I have sitting at home my new Ford torsion bar keys and a 2.5" add-a-leaf for the rear of the truck. From what i've been able to come across so far it looks like there might be a chance I could squeeze a 35" tire under there if not a 33" should fit without many issues.
So my next question is what kinda backspacing do I need to run.
I'd like to run an 8" wide wheel but it looks like for the 35" i'm going to have to run with a 10" wide. As for the backspacing what about any offset? I know most lift kit manf. recommend a 4.5" backspacing, would that work with both the 8" wide & 10" wide wheel?

Now when you say a 33" with cranking the t-bars, are you talking about with the 3" body lift & bars cranked?
I've heard with the Ford keys and add-a-leafs I can pull out over 2" of lift that on top of the 3" body and i'd be in the 5" range with 6" fitting 35's, although i'm not sure how tight a 35" fits with the 6" lifts.
