I have a2001 extended cab LWB 3/4 ton diesel. It sits higher than most all other factory trucks. I want to put 35 x 12.50 tires under it without adding a lift kit. Does anyone know if it will work? Also, I am adding the Gale Banks power boost to my Cummins. This adds 144+ horse power and an additional 288 ft. lb. torqe to the drive train. Crazy huh.

You will have to lift the front of the truck 2-inches with a leveling kit from Rancho or some other company to fit the 35's in the front. The rear will work with not problem. without lifting the front end the tires will rub when turning and during suspension compression. If you are planning on adding the Banks system to your truck and you are running an automatic transmission, you will have to swap out the torque convertor as the factory one will not hold up to that much power for very long. There is a number of aftermarket companies that address this issue and have torque convertors available. Good luck.
