    ...stuff
    Depends on lift brand, wheels, tires you have in mind. Going over 2 inches with a 4x4 will cause problems.

    Use the search function. You will find lots of info

    Scratches, dents, and a lot of miles
    40". Might require some trimming.

    There are many threads dedicated to this over on the wheels and tires forum, as well as on the suspension forum. There is no short answer to this, really. It depends on wheel backspace, tire width, what lift you're running, etc.

    The general rule seems to be 3" of lift you can fit 285/70/17s. Depending on the offset, backspacing etc...will determine how much you have to trim to eliminate rubbing. Some report little to none, some have to cab mount chop and trim plastic.

    Not hating on anyone, just saying. There is indeed ALOT of info on TW, sometimes though it's very difficult to sift through most of it. Lot's of different opinions, suggestions and circumstances that could easily change an outcome if one isn't too careful. Just my two cents.

    stick to 285/70/17 and you’ll be okay. Worst case scenario you have to trim a little.

    @11Bguy

    Also, over 2” and you’ll likely need UCAs but it won’t necessarily cause problems. Stay under 3” and you’ll be fine.

    I know, I know, I’m in a second gen, why am I commenting here?

    @Rainmaker1

    265/75r16 will clear.
    You'll need to do some trimming with 285/75r16

    Or the 17" equivalent

    Full 33". Use OE wheels or ones with OE specs and no lift is required. Or cutting, chopping pounding.

    No additional parts, alignment issues etc.

    I have 285/70r17's with JBA UCS's and all I had to do was trim a bit off the button fender flare.
