33's easy, maybe a 35 depending on wheel back spacing

if you are turning your truck into a prerunner loose the bodylift, with flared and bulged fiberglass fenders and bedsides and a leveling kit you can run 33's. your gonna loose flex with HD leafsprings, you dont need deaver springs to have fun a local spring shop can make you a set of springs for cheap that will flex and give you the lift you need, I would also flip your rear hangers and shackles for better travel

found this in the tech library under fiberglass fender install, should help you out, on factory wheels my guess is that you will rub on your radius arms. I had to use wheel spacers (not recomended) to clear 31's, get a wheel with the right offset and you will be fine

I'm not 100% sure, but from how the article reads its sounds like project pre rocker was a highrider truck. And I think this makes the 33's possible with out rubbing off road on the firewall with no lift.

"just a spring shop" wont have as good of spring as deaver if your looking for a "prerunner truck" pack unless they have been working with the desert truck's for awhile.Bit for a trial truck flex pack Im sure there are a large number of springs shops that could be up to the job.

also if you want the pre runner look, start, skip the body lift like FX2 said

I didnt say that "just a spring shop" would make a leaf pack near the quality or the ability of a deaver spring but unless you are looking to build a race truck or a true prerunner a good spring shop can make a leaf pack that will perform quite well and meet dirtdigr's needs
