Re: 35's on a cruiser
i personally haven't done it
send a PM to dieselboy, I think he may have
and don't do the body lift
I reckon it will be a waste of time
I think you will get the clearance you need with a simple 2" lift or similar
my 33s fit on 8.5" rims with no rub at articulation, so 35s shouldn't be too hard to get to fit

What you up to Vince, you not changeing sides of the fence are you.
Re: 35's on a cruiser
I have 2 inch spring lift and needed 2 inch body lift to fit my 35 simexs, went for body lift to keep centre of gravity down. No clerance issues now. Cheers

You need to learn the banjo Skid and then you might understand. Some southerners think different.

Re: 35's on a cruiser
I've got 35" MTRs on my 80. They're a bit worn but fit with no lift at all just had a lot of rub on the very top of the guard. The 80s have big guards so you don't need to do any chopping.
Mine are on 10" rims, if they are on 8" rims then they probably wont rub because of course the rim pulls the tyre out 2 more inches.
I've put two inch spacers in and they clear perfectly in the rear but there is still a tiny bit of rub in the front because I've taken the sway bar off.
Simexs are bigger then 35 of course so go 4" for that extra performance.

isn't this correct?? obviously putting in a body lift will raise the centre of gravity but if the reason you are doing it is to fit bigger tyres you only have two options, suspension lift or a body lift. A suspension lift will raise the centre of gravity more then a body lift will becauce with a body lift you are keeping the chasis and all the heavy bits as low as possible and only lifting the body.
This is assuming we ignore option 3 of cutting the gaurds..
