I'm sure tire size is an over-asked question. I hope I have an excuse being new to EB's (after finally dumping that piece-of-S#!T/mud stuck H1 Hummer).

I'd like to go to 36" SS TSL's, but I don't want to go any higher. Will they fit the 2.5" susp and 2" body lift???

Thanks, Craig T

it wuould depend on how much your fenders were cut. if they are cut to the body line you probably won't have any problem. I just bought some 36's and have a 3.5" SL and a 2" BL.....i'll send you some pics of them installed in about a week or so if you want. hope this helps...... %)

i have 3 1/2 suspension and 2 inch body with my fenders cut. and i could easily run 37s so i dont see why you couldnt run 36s with 4.5 inches of lift as long as your fenders were cut

Yes, please send some picks.

When you say "body line", what are you refering to? I cut the fenders using the Bushwacker flares as a template. Can I cut even farther up and still use the Bushwackers?

I appreciate your advice.

I already have a 2 1/2" sl and 2" body. I really don't want to be any higher. I spend a lot of time in Moab, and most of my local off-roading is in the San Bernardino mountains. One inch can be the difference between being on your wheels and being on you top!

Here's mine with 3 1/2" susp. & no bodylift running 35x14.5x15 SSRs and Wareflares. The bodylift went in the next week and I'm now running a 4 1/2" susp. lift.

Not the best pic, but only one before I pulled the body. 2" susp, 2" body, K Bar S flares (minimal cutting), and 35x15.50 Swampers.

Here's mine with 36x12.50-15 TSLs. I have a 3.5" suspension lift and 1" body lift. You can see how much I've cut to be able to flex a lot and not cut tires.

I have a 4 1/2" suspension 2" body & 36" swampers and crawl all over big bears trails. Hardly ever feels super tippy with my set up up there.
