Could be an exhuast leak, the headers are know to crack right before attaching to the down pipe. IF you look down between the motor and the master cylinder you can see about where it would be on the exhuast.
Also here's the pics I was talking about.
So add 1" to the bottom of the rim due to an increase in rim size. So you have a radius of 7.5 vs 8.5 add that to the 3" of tire and it gives you a total of 10.5" of ground clearance vs 11.5"

Yes that would be zero psi. The point is to show added clearance due to the increased rim size. A 35 aired down would be like a 33, the tires shown are like a 29 or something prior to being inflated.

ok fixed the leak in the exhuast, lost a bolt. ok has anybody fit 35s on the back by cutting if out yourself. I know theres a weld that you will have to cut if the tires are to big. Just trying to see if i will have to do that of not. help??

^are you talking about doing coils for the rear also?
there are kits out there to do it but its not really that much better than a nice flexy set of leaves and a properly setup shackle
