My truck has a 3" body lift and i had 33"/12.50/15.0 tires on it, and the tires did not rub on my fenders when i turn, But now i just bought 35"/12.50/15 to put on it. So now my question is, will the new 35" tires rub on the fenders?, and if so, how can i lift up the suspension just a bit so it doesn't rub the fenders when i turn without having to buy a suspension lift?. Someone told me to thighten up the torsion bars to the maximum, but will that affect the alignment?. I just don't want to eat the tires to fast since they are expensive. Thank you.

You will need 2" lift blocks in the rear. You will also need to raise the torsion bars. After that, it will need an alignment. There is a blot at the end of each torsion bar. Turn these bolts clockwise to raise the bars.
