I tell the same thing to my wife...I may only have a 3" "package" but I can still run full size "rubber"...
good one.

Not sure how hard your searched, I posted a link above to pics that are of my rig. I run 35 X 10.5 X 16 Super Swamper SSR tires on wheels with stock backspacing, no spacers. Had OME 886/N140 front, 885/N71e rear but swapped out the fronts for some ICON coilovers.
Here a couple pics just because you asked...
Hope they help...
Thank you
Your Rig is Very Schweet . Is anyone running anything wider?

Wider will require a different backspacing of the wheel, wheel spacers, extend bump stops, etc. Check for DominicG, ajstoy, karpi, I think they are running 35 X 12.50's and I believe others are also, just not sure exactly who, sorry...
Guys that do or have ran 3" with 35's off the top of my head.

There are more than quite a few of us that run 34x10.50 swampers with 3inch lift as well with no rubbing issues.

I never really measured but I do know about 5 ledges I make now with no scraping with 6" that I got high centered with the 3", same size tires same driver same line, Here in the Northeast we run tight rocky trails lined with trees, you don't always get to move over 5 feet to try a different line.

So I'm wondering... with a 6" lift with my set up, because I have a spare on top, if I'd have to worry about being top heavy and more of pucker factor. Obviously I'd have to get wheel spacers and a wider tire to make sure my COG comfortable. I personally feel, that I have better clearance with my 35" tires and my 3" lift because of the tire size. I think ultimately what we're looking for when it comes to clearance is moving that pumpkin up, and you can only do that with tires.

Doesn't sound any different than the trails down here in the SE, the trails I've been on in CO, UT, CA or most anywhere else I've been...
