Maybe a body lift and some fender trimming.

6" lift, 38" PJs, 16.5x12 Welds, and Bushwacker cut-out flares:

Hope this helps.

Cut the sheet metal on the fenders and besides, coat all raw edges and holes with some rust preventative paint, install the flares.

Not sure on cost.

Hope this helps.

Ive got a six inch superlift and 38x13 tsl swampers on stock wheels and they fit with no rubbing offroad with the sway bar connected. The only problem is that one tire will contact the leaf spring on very sharp left turns while compressed. This could be solved with larger offset wheels or adjusting my draglink or adding material to the steering stop.
