Yes, you can fit up to a 31" tire on stock suspension easily. Just give it a good torsion crank and throw on some 31s. You could also try a 32x1150 on stock suspension. Just make sure you have enough backspacing.

265/75/16's fit great... I cranked the torsion bars a lil bit though. Gonna shove some 285's on it in a week or two... we'll see how that goes. Might have to trim a bit idk.

Yeah I got 265/75R15's on mine right now. You don't need to crank the T-bar or anything. I also have 31's for summer. I have enough room for 33's if I wanted with no cranking too. But I have a step side bed which may have something to do with it...

Heres mine on 31's I think they look too small for the wheel wells... lol

I don't have the pictures anymore, but I stuffed 33x12.5s in on 15x10 steelies with 3.75" bs.

No rub, even when "flexing"

You can fit big meats under the 98 and ups.

Crank the t bars. Or ditch the IFS
