Yep you will clear 30's easily and probably 31's. Sorry I haven't responded to your PM yet. Been working on this damn wifi print server and it's pissing me off..

Multiple AAls will give you a very harsh ride. You can use stock LCA's at 3", some will say higher but again ride suffers and dw may become a problem. Make your own leaf pack with an s10 main added to yours, give you 4" or so and rides moderate from what I've read/heard. Go to Naxja and buy someone's stuff that they are selling to go taller. Oh, your TB, don't fool around just get an adjustable.

Compress the coil and sit it on top of the coil.

I just got a 2" bb and was gonna go with 30x9.50x15s, but if I can fit a wider tire on, I'd prefer that, so I too would like to have an answer to this question...

Thanks

i would like to add some little piece of advice from my experience in this matter...i have exactly 5" of lift and i first bought brand new 32x11.50 on 8" rims and yes they fit and looked cool as heck but since i loveeee to show off my flexy jeep 32's sucked, anytime i flexed the tires where jammed up into my wheel wells and i didnt have much flex, soo i sold them(like a week after i bought them lol) and got a new set of 31x10.50 m/t's and they measure 31" exactly and now its perfect, that little bit helped alot, i can flex really well and they dont rub ever. i am much happier with 31"s plus i prolly get a little better MPGs but im not sure.
