I dont think so, I ran a fab 6 and 3in body with 37s on my 01 and I had to do a TB crank and trimming. I would think a 35 or 36 max, the thing that sucks on this body style is you cant trim the back of the wheel well very much because it shares the interior cab's sheet metal.

Torsion bar crank to add more lift in the front.
There's people around here with MASSIVE lifts that aren't running 39" tires. Lifts so big the tires aren't anywhere near the fenders.
Why so big?

you will get less flex with bigger tires....meaning if you put 35s with the 4susp and 3in body you will achieve more flex because of the additional fender room

How are coil spring spacers for a 2wd going to help a 4wd with torsion bars?
