REGEAR! 31's without cutting, 33's with cutting...

31s will be a little harder to push, 33s will definitely give you grief and heartache... the limits on the trans and enginge depends on your right foot, common sense and what gears you have in the diffs :D

Hey, I put 29.5's on mine with a 3" body lift and I had to still cut about a half inch at the bottom rear corner of the front end. I didn't do any offset tho.

I have 31's with a 3" body lift, had to chop off a chunk of the rear part of the front fender. It has the stock 1.8 with a Weber 34 and does ok so long as you arent in a hurry to get off the line. I am also thinking about re-gearing, I cant help but feel the clutch is a little overworked getting the whole mess rolling from a standstill.

I have 29" super swampers on mine with a 2" lift and it just misses the fenders.

Shoot you can go with that body lift and crank the the tb's and get about 2-3''s of lift and easily fit 33''-12-50.
