if i do a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift and trim the fenders can i get away with 32" tires, possibly even 33?

i dont do rock crawling, im all driving on the the beach and some mud trails like a maniac.

if you stick with your stock rims or aftermarket rims with stock specs you can get by with 32's if you do some moderate trimming, but 33's will be out of the question unless you do some very heavy trimming.

There are a few members with the same setup you're thinkin about. tbar crank/shackles and a body lift along with 33" tires. IMO it looks awesome.

if it were me i would go with 31s with that setup. But i wheel mine pretty hard and i dont like to trim. With that i still hit the top of my fender a few times.

I would stick with 31"s or do a 3" body lift. You are gonna hit the rears of the front fenders when turning and articulating at the same time with 32"s.
I am assuming that you have a second gen S10.
