What size wheel and tire could you go with an uncut rear, 4-link, and the rear axle pushed back 1". The suspension is 2.5"SL and 2"BL

That combo would be perfect for 33/10.5/15s.
Here's mine with with 2.5"sl, 1"bl, rear axle moved back 1", and 33/10.5/15s

And upside down. So annoying!

The wheel backspacing will be a big factor in what tire fits or not.

A 285/70/17 fits easily with a Method wheel and 4.75" BS and 3" SL.

Might be able to go 285/75/17???

Im wanting larger wheels 17's x? and backspacing ?.?? I currently have 15's on 33's but fenders are cut. Im just trying to get an idea of my options. So moving rear axle back actually hurts your clearance?

3.5" here with 1 leaf removed and the axle moved back 1". 265/75/16s so a 32x10.5. You will also want to roll the fender lips so they dont slice your sidewalls

Pushing the axle back was my solution. My 32x10.5s would have hit the front portion of the fender if I didn't move the axle back.

It was awfully close to touching but just enough clearance

With a total of 4.5 lift between body and suspension you can do a lot. Mine has 3.5 susp and 1 inch body so you can see what 33x10.50x15 looks like

Nice! where did you get your wheels? I've seen a few options but most don't seem to have the dogdish size for those old fairlane caps.

These are stock wheels. I gambled on them working but need back spacers to clear the radius arms

definitely gives you a little more clearance….

not that you would wheel it too hard jason?
