I had an s-10 with a 3" body lift and 33's. I had to cut the front fenders behind the tires. I also had the torsion bars turned up with add-a-leafs in back. Trying to fit 35's would be really pushing it. Either way you are going to be able to go anywhere you want. S-10's are bad ass even in stock form. Walker Evans even competes in professional rockcrawling events with an s-10.

S-10's rule!:bounce2:

take out the cutting torch, cut hte ifs out, put a d44 in front, remove the fenders, and put some 37's on it.

35s will fit I had the same thing many years ago 35in bfgs didnt rub but 35in swampers did. minor fender trimming youl be fine. and name one part on walker evans rock crawler that is from an s10. the thing is a buggy with chevrolet backing.
