People put 32's on with 4 inches of lift some have rubbing issues, some dont. Depends on what tires u get and what they actually measure to. My 31's really only measure to 30.5". So I'd say go for it. If you get fiberglass fenders in the front you can put 33" tires on your truck. Once u start getting that big its strongly recomended to regear your truck to at least 3.73 gears if you have less than that.

thanks benedict for an actual answer i know what i need to do to lift it but the so called "god" thread dosnt really specify on 32's specifically and most guys go with 31's i simply wanted to know if the tbar crank and shackles on stock rims will work with 32's i have since found the answers i was looking for thanks for the replys.

I'd say go for it, people with larger than 31" tires on stock rims really only complain of rubbing the frame at full lock. that can be fixed with spacers or wheels with less backspacing. I just have a tbar crank and shackles and I'm running 31's with miner trimming of my fenders with no rub even trail riding. you are going another two inches so I think you'd be pretty safe, but like I said some "32's" may really only be 31 inches or 31.5, or sometimes even 32.5, its always good to go and look at some tire brands and actually measure them to see what they actually measure up to

Uhm, i have some 32"`s, and with about 4,5" front and 6" rear lift, they rubbed pretty not driveable, until i brought out the angle grinder.

You won`t have a chance without some serious cutting...

Hmmm 3" B/L, 1.5" Tbar crank & 2" (= 1" lift) rear shackles & when I compress the front really well they rub at the rear of the fender. They only rub the flares so I'll have to trim a bit more off the fender so the flares are futher back. But 32's fit on my '02 with the rims I got from Logan (not sure of the offset)
<edit> keep in mind I'm running 10" wide rims, that makes a huge difference!
