9in of lift with 35's

Hey guys right now my truck has a body lift with 35 12 x 50 BFG mud terrains and 16 x 8 eagle alloys. I found an EXTREMELY cheap 6" fabtech lift that I want to get. However I just bought these tires a month ago and dont have the money to try to get new ones. I am getting a set of 16 x 10 eagle alloys to help push the tires out. Do you guys think it would look "okay" with 9 inches of lift on 35's? Also does anybody have any pictures of this? Thanks!!

it will look fine. f150rider ran this setup before he got 36's. Minimonster is running this setup but hasnt posted any pictures that i know of. And i believe redrider (i think thats his name) has got 9" and 35's

GO FOR IT.

it'll look fine. you'll have a lot of fender clearance, though. this could be your best friend if you like to offroad hard.

somedays, the tires just look a little small, that's all. it's not so big as to look ridiculously huge for a 35'' tire. if you pm me your #, i can text you some phone pics of my truck. my digital camera is down, so i can't post any...

you won't regret it, either. you factor you'll only be cruising around for about two years before you'll need new tires, anyway.

Remember, your ride height is adjustable via the preload on your torsion bars. You don't have to crank enough preload on them to lift the truck 6 inches.
