Most guys can easily fit 35's...but I've seen some with fresh springs and good body mounts that could fit 37's.

Looks like the question has been answered for the highboy. What about a 2WD? I have a set of brand new 31 inchers from a totaled Bronco that have been sitting for a couple of years now. Will they work on a 2WD?

31's will be no problem. I've known guys to run 33's before as well, looks stupid and wheel wells are stuffed, and there is some rubbing up front.

As well as a local tire shop or more specifically a 4wd shop. There's usually lots of used tires and rims to choose from around those places. Seems to be a high turnover on the more aggressive tires, either because people weren't expecting the characteristics and are unhappy, they have money to blow, or a new mud racing/crawling season.
