From what I was told you can go up to 3 inches up with blocks and new torsion keys without having to change any brake lines or shocks and up to a 3 inch body lift without changing any shift cables or other non sense, both easy to do on your own, should be able to find everything on eBay. If i had to guess i would say you would only be able to run 33s

8 year old thread.....

You can't.

This requires a combination of a 3" body lift and torsion bar crank and also significant fender trimming to prevent rubbing. Also upgrading to aftermarket wheels with proper offset is essential to avoid rubbing the control arms, and trimming the fender liners and bumper corners.
