Well I won't settle for anything less than 32 inch tires but really don't know how I want to lift it or with what brand lift kit to be able to fit them. I'm am looking for a roof rack and a 5th wheel or a set of 5 new wheels that won't break the bank for my full sized spare and what not.

a 2in BB and cut fenders will clear 32s but you'll rub fender when you stuff your tire

my rig on my old pizza cutter 32 9,5 TSLs

I thought about that but I don't really want to cut the fenders if I don't have to I know there are lift kits that will get the job done I just don't know what the most cost effective one would be
