Run it through its range of articulation. Otherwise, you might eyeball it and think "hey, those tires fit fine" then get it off road, stuff a tire and find there isn't enough room and your nice new cut fenders just shredded your tires.

So it would be an even worse idea to do a "torsion bar lift" huh?

Yes seems that way pro, lol

. Would be a very bad idea for me to do the torsion bars, lol. Does 33" tires look good on a 90 bronco with only a 4" lift, or do they look to small? .... Maybe i can find some 33" boggers to run

I have to agree, however I do remember a time (15-20 years ago) when 35's were HUGE!!!!

Yea, its funny the longer you've been around how your perspectives change. I mentioned in some other thread how my 44's were starting to look small...

Back in the day 35s were the shinizzle.

"so, how big a tire can i run on my 78 250 with a trialmaster 4" lift??? i will not BE ADDING A BODY, OR ANY HIGHER SUSPENSION LIFT. i would like to run a 37 or 38"

I run 36x12.50 on mine with no lift, they will rub inside the fenderwell on the splacshguards, but do not make contact with the body. I have had it twiseted up a bit with no contact, but I still had the sway bar connected..
