I think you will be damn close. How close to the frame/body do those 36"ers come when you are at full lock with flex?

They you would probably hit with 38s. Have you done any trimming?

If you have to, you could trim/bash the wheel wells in the back to gain additional clearance. If you are within an inch at full flex, you will be close.

You'll have front axle problems with anything bigger than what youve got. If you want to go with 38s, go SFA and swap the rear axle.

I wouldnt be suprised if you snap a half shafts if you do any heavy offroading with your current setup.

Honestly I have never had any problems, I do some hard rock crawling. All I did was regear with lockers.
