You can do almost anything any other 4wd s-series can do.

32's are going to require some work though.

with 2-3" of lift youll be able to run 31's with no issues, but for 32's youll need about 5" of lift or some prettty healthy fender trimming.

As Mikeinwi mentioned, 32's will take alot of work, and all for 1/2" of additional ground clearance I might add. This has been discussed several times so run a quick search and you'll dig up some good info!

The jist of it is I have four inches of lift 31s on rims with 4.5" of b.s. and there are still times that I rub. Taller and wider tires would look good, but major fender cutting would be needed inorder to clear the tires.
