a 3" lift to barely clear 32s? ha!
my tires are 31.5" and clear fine. Adam ran 32x11.5s (that's my spare
- same height). neither truck lifted, and I know I haven't trimmed
anything yet (though I might need to take a bit off the plastic in
front to not rub at full stuff when turned).

if I do a 3" anything I'll run 34s.

there's a guy on dodgedakotas.com who runs 35s with just a 3" body lift
some bumper trimming - it doesn't look like it would clear to full
stuff, but they fit fine for mud. google should be able to find that,
and there are pictures..... but I don't find them right off.
