i want to see some pics of what tires and wheels everyone is running with just the 5.5 lift
i need to know how big i can go if i need to sell the 40s that i have and go with 37 or 38 or if i can make the 40s work
i do not do any rocks just a very small amount of mud most of the time it is just a show truck (i know its a shame ) i just hate cleaning the dang mud off it
any pics wuld be great

I've got a 5.5" lift and 2" suspension lift. WH springs at all 4 corners, and Cage radius arms. I clear 37s pretty well. Flexed up on the rocks my rear tires will touch my inner fenders - nothing taller bumpstops won't cure, but I don't know how guys clear anything taller without inner fender mods.

I have 37"s now and I could probably stuff 40"s in there but I'll need to upgrade the axles and regear..

I run 39.5 iroks on 5.5susp and 2in body. I also put my flares up to the body line and trimed some of the inner sheetmetal out. They do still rub when you flex it out.

I know this is an old thread. I came across it while looking for pics of 5.5" lift with 35" tires.

Just wanted to say what a badass bronco this is! (76_bronco's)

That is all :);D

Oh, Madgyver, props to your yellow rig too! Looking sweet all twisted up in that ditch :)
