Lift manufacturers base their max tire size recommendations on what fits with no trimming and no modification other than the lift kit itself.
Its more of a guideline, not something set in stone. How much trimming and bumpstopping you're willing to do is the only thing limiting what size tire you can run with any lift. A good example of this is my Jeep. According to lift manufacturers, I should have a 6.5" lift to fit my 33's. But with a little trimming and bumpstopping, I have my 33's on a 1.5" lift, and its very capable. Much better than a huge lift on 33's.

Ad a leaf is cheaper then full leaf springs but ad a leaf will ride rougher and sag faster then full leaf springs.And yes lift companies say a max tire size based on stock fenders not cut,So if you cut the fenders or run aftermarket cut out fender flares you can run bigger tires then they say.
