DML BBQ #2 in the summer of 2000.
David martin had a 3" body lift on his '98 Dak. and had 33" tires on.
And he had slight rubbing at full lock, either way.
So that's why i say 35's are NOT going to fit.
Now in that article that you read, did they say that this woman actually
take it off-road? Or was it a mall cruiser? hehe
Cause if you're not going to get the suspension to flex, than go ahead and
stuff the biggest tires that will fit in the wheel wells. But, don't expect
to turn very well, and your tires are going to be bouncing off the inside of
the wheel wells with every little bump you hit.
