let me know. thanx >>

I recently did a 4" suspension lift and a 2" body lift to my Gen II Dak (96),
and the biggest tires you will be able to fit WITHOUT rubbing are 32's. I
wanted 33's so I was forced to cut the fenders with a sawzall. No way you'll
get larger than 33's without some serious body cutting, the front fender
wells are just too narrow and too close to the body mount. I could cut more
if the door and body mount weren't so damned close to the fender well!

I've got a couple pics up at:

I'm gonna attempt more fender cutting and try to fit some flares as my next
project this spring, will post pictures when I actually ever get around to
doing so!
