Uh, yeah, that's going to be a bit rough since they are both paid for and in transit, hence why the spindles will be here Monday and the tires will be here Thursday. Thanks for the wonderful advise though. :1

I think I might be "ok" now. I broke out the handy dandy sawzall along with my BFG and did a little modifying to the inner fenderwell. The plastic fender liner will cover all of my work so you can't even tell I did anything. It's still going to be a tight fit, but I guess I'll have to live with not being able to turn like a normal vehicle.

Actually, 35's aren't really that big. I'd say they're just a practical size for daily driving and off-roading. If I would have known all this before I probably would have ordered 33's, but I know I would have been kicking myself in the ***.

im sure you will figure it out when you get it all put together. my buddy and Ihad the same problem when we were lifting his toyota. it was very tight, but we just adjusted the torsion bars and it worked out fine. really really tight, but it fit.

No springs in my truck. The HD's have torsions. I already have them cranked, but they need to come down a bit so I can get an alignment.

It already sucks the way it is. Being a crew cab it's long as hell. Parking lots out here weren't made for trucks like this. I have to park way the ---- out in the middle of nothing because I can't get in tight spcaes.

44's are ridiculous. Have fun balancing those ******* and good luck with your steering system. Good thing you have a solid front axle. :P

you could always make it a havasu prerunner and put some glass on it. :P a lil expensive but itll help clear 35's.

Nice and gay like the rest of the wanna be trucks here with 100% stock suspension and unpainted/unmatching fiberglass fenders. No fiberglass for my truck, although I did see a pretty badass full size Chevy all done up that looked prett sick. My truck is far too heavy to do any serious off-roading. That thing doesn't like to jump.

Also, glass front fenders won't help because the tires hit on the actual body of the cab at full turn and a bit on the front valance and fenderwell cover, but I don't give a damn about that ----.
