I know of somebody with a 79 and a 4" that has 38" tires. Not sure it he has a body lift or not.

with no fender trimming, not much more than a 37-38, if you are willing to trim the bottoms of the fenders then you can fit more tire

460mudtruck, welcome to the site. What kind of tires you running, boggers, irocs?

THEBOGGIEMAN, you could easily fit 35-36s with room for flex, but maxing out axles and room with 37-38s.
