all you need is a 4 inch lift because on the 73-79 trucks the fenderwells are very large

I have a 79 crew cab and ran 35 inch implement tires for about a year and never got them to rub. I put a 4 inch lift on and could probably fit 38s but they would defenitly rub, gunna find out when a friend of mine gets 38s.
