How much of a lift are you running? I'd think that would be a more deciding factor than what fender flares you have.

I am thinking the same thing. Running bushwhackers only would allow you to run a wider tire and still tuck under the flares, but If you want to go taller get lifting.

Stock suspension and bushwackers? , the only way you could go without possible damage is with little to no off road or larger bumpstops.

You can do 31's stock with just minor trimming and bumpstops, or just trimming and take it easy off road.

Bushwackers stick out a long way and they would really dumb with anything narrower than a 12.50 tire. Id say diameter wise maybe a 31 stock or a 32 with a 2 incher if you bumpstop it correctly. I have them and just saying you wont like the look of them if you have narrow tires.
