Jason,

        Get offset rims and you will not have a problem with rubbing. I have a 3" Rancho lif 3"
body lift, cranked the torsion bars & swapped out the rear spring blocks for 3" blocks for a total
of 7" of lift. I run 35"x12.50" BFG A/T...no rubbing! I did cut the inner fender to fit the 35"
tires. I had 33" for about 2 months without cutting or rubbing.

Check out my web page for pics...

I'm looking at the rancho lift too...maybe we can get a group buy going.
32" tires will fit with minimal rubbing by the front of the tire on the
frame. I've had 32s for 6 months and that's the only problem I've had...a
non-issue really. Could use 3.92s instead of 3.55s though.
