37 inch tires on a 99

I have a 1999 4x4 non-airride expedition. I had a 3 inch body lift put on. I am now planning a 2.5 inch lift via shackels in the back and torsion keys in the front. What is the biggest tire i should be able to fit with the total of 5.5 inches of lift? 37's?

I believe the biggest you can put with the TT and the body lift is a 35

Thanks for your help. I somehwo got myself in this jam. I needed the head gasket replaced and they pull the body off at the dealer so i paid the mechanic an extra 100 bucks to do the body lift. I also just put brand new Bilsteins on the truck so i don't want to life the suspension to much and make these shocks worthless.

What you need an an extension like the one at this link to keep your Bilsteins riding at the correct height. This one is for rear shocks with a 2" lift kit. I don't know the details of yours so I'm just throwing a sample at you.
