    ..if you change out the rear springs and crank the torsion bars.
    (see 'LIFT' threads )

    You are talking about tires that are about 32.8x 8.5.

    Lots of people running that or bigger...

    ...disclaimer...some trimming of front cladding required.

    But not enough trimming to worry about....

    Go for it!

    ... which will significantly impact the swing arc, which is probably what necessitates the lift and (potentially) more significant cutting.
