max tire size i guess depends on how much ur willing to cut ur fenders. what tube fenders? bumpers... look at the fab section and see what others have done. get ideas and go from there

From that thread, this is 1.5" and 37s, so you can run pretty much whatever you want.

Just keep in mind that with bigger tires you need to change gears too. I wouldnt recommend going over 33s with stock axles either...

a good way to go higher without spending as much money if you just need a couple inches is to use springs for a late 70's ford. my frontend is all homade and when I went to look for springs I got almost 6 inches from a pair of ford springs that were only 3 inches longer than stockfor a ford. If yo wanted to go 4 inches you would only need ford springs made for a 2 inch lift.Its only a little stiff but if its offroad you hardley notice at all.

yeah that was another question i had.if im using diffrent leaf springs what other make and model ones could i use and what coil srings i could use,like the make and model.and could a chevy 1 ton rear and front end fit it?
