    Behind the front mudflaps there is a protrusion in the trucks frame right at the point where the body or cab mounts to the trucks frame. You CAN trim up this area and allow for more tire clearance, weld up a cover plate and voila, A Body Mount Chop or BMC.
    Pic from another member give you an idea:

    I typed this same exact question into google. I just bought a 2021 platinum bone stock. I'm considering 4.5" BDS lift and looks like that's what you went with. I want something that will easily fit 35s. How are things going on your lift a few years later? Any issues? Regrets? Thanks!!
