Can anyone take a guess? it has 33's on it... ill take measurements, where from? center of the wheel to the fender or from the ground to the fender would be more accurate?

i want to fit 35's on it but im not sure if i need a lift or not.

stock no lift.

we had the same setup on our 86.

measures are usually on flat level ground up to the bottom of the fender trim,/right up from the center of the wheel, not th elower portion as in the bottom of the fender.

35's might fit, you got some room, but it's be really close, usually a 4 inch lift and 35's fits really nice, room to flex and such, but looks like with an inch or two you could clear em with what wheels you have now, maybe trim the back of the fender a tad if need be.

4 inch would be a safe bet to clear with no cuts I'd think.

this is a 4 inch with 33's.

Spring over axle, with a negative arch spring. It's hard to say about the shims in the back. How thick are they?
