Would 42's fit on an 89 f250 with a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift?

yes. here is 8":





but as you can see the clearances are not so hot, you will rub if you try to flex it out...

Thats great to hear. I found a set of 42 IROKs with less that hundred miles on them and alloy rims for $800. If I have rubbing problems, I could always put an add-a-leaf. Thanks for the quick reply.

Actually a 6" lift and radius'd out fenders would clear 42's much better, look in my gallery of my mudder, it has a 6" lift and radius'd out fenders, granted the tires are only 35's, but just add the tire to rim height on top of the tire and it gives you a general idea.

haha i think he is a little too used to looking at 20ish inches of lift and 49" IROKs. If i got into one of those everyday, I think I would say that yoo.

i stuffed my 39's under my stock powerstroke pretty easily. on the front it would turn about half way. i would say with a 6" lift aftermarket bumpers and maybe a 1" body lift yopu could very easily run 44's

as long as you didnt flex that much... id agree. other thing to worry about is the front bumper... cutts has a ranchhand and that allows for larger tires. stock bumper might be too low.
