Yes, if you are willing to trim your fenders.

I know several people that have run this tire on a 4.5" lift with the fenders cut out and they preform awesome.

I would say a simple cut and fold in the rear will do and just cut along the fender line in the front. If you run the 34x10.50's I posted up about in your other thread you only need to cut out about a 1.5" of fender. There not a really wide tire so they stuff really well.

you might consider just going with a 33" or 35" tire since 34" tires aren't very common and your selection will be very limited.

depends on how much your suspension is sagged. 30's will fit... but they will rub everything with out trimming or a 2" lift. 235/75 is what most run on the stock suspension.

You can clear 33s on stock suspension.

Why not save a few bucks on 34s and go with 33s and a 2" BB? Much more likely they'll fit and a lot less trimming bumpstopping.

Do some research. Then ask again layer when you exactly what you want and can afford. Makes yours and our lives much easier.

Default Body lift vs suspension lift

Whats different about both of these, is the body lift cheaper and looks bad? i k the suspension lift is way more exspensive but i mean can you still get the same look with the body?
