ok, if you dont want to trim the fenders, or touch the torsion bars then why not get a simple 3 inch body lift and clear 33x12.50's?

32s will fit with just a slight t-bar crank and will not rub and will give enough travel offroad to not worry. The tire place can crank your torsion bars if you tell them to(unless their dicks or retards), but its an easy thing to do at home even before going into the tire place

I put 265/75 R16's (31.5") they hit if I turn all the way and hit a bump, otherwise, no problems.

i've got a 2001 4x4 stock suspension, i just raised my t-bars about 2 inches, the 265's clear nicely without any rubbing.
as for wether tire places will raise your t-bars, just ask.

yet another useless thread, there is a sticky in one of the sub forums, and there are threads like this everyday, not to be an *** or anything


just make sure you don't dislodge the flux capacitor
