Sorry to hear about the truck Mark...

But I have to say stick with the big meats. I'm still running my 4" lift with my 36 12.5 16.5s. I trimmed the front of the rear quarters and moved the 14 bolt back about 3/4" by re-drilling perches. It is now centered in the opening and looks much better. (I had to move it back anyhow to get enough travel on the rear CV shafts splines.)

On the drivers side where my fender is the right shape, no rubbing for street driving, but the f'ed up pass fender does. (PO had poor repair done pre-1977 when we got it!) But it will be replaced soon. I'm thinking about doing some cutting and welding on the front fenders so that they are symmetrical instead of hooking in. Should have no problem running 35's with 4" lift.

My rims have 4 1/2" bs which helps. Because the 3/4 ton axles are wider than the 1/2 tons, overall track of the truck is pretty much same.
