with 4" the 35x12.5s didnt hit anywhere during normal driving and some minor flexing, but I never really tried it out. Bought the truck drove a little around town and then tore it down. Now with the 6" thats made to flex and 1" body lift on cab only the front tires will hit at full flex and turned all the way. Bed does not have a lift and tires wont hit. Rear springs are 56" vs stock 52", so they are really flexy, plus the rear springs are only 2" lift = more flexy vs 6" lift spring, the other 4" are from a shackle flip.

Here are some pics, I would guess this is about the limit of the 6" lift, this is with 1" body lift on cab only and 35"s. The truck was still unfinished here so some stuff may look incomplete, I had just got it drivable again and this was the closest place that I could chance driving to so I could test the suspension.
