Default biggest boots on 06 and up

Wondering what the biggest tire you all have tried on stock 06's and up. Have searched but found most rides are pre 06 with cranked torsion bars. Any pics would be nice.

I am putting 35's on mine with a 6" lift. Hammerz71 says you can do 35's with the 4" though. Hoping to put mine together this weekend and will be posting pics asap if you want to see.

Even though the front end is different, the result is still the same. 33" is max with no modifications.
35's are do-able with as little as a 2" level kit, but to be able to take full flexing and bouncing off road, a 4" suspension lift is more realistic.

I have an 07 and I put 305x70x17 on with no problems which come out to a 34.1 inch tire and I could go to 315's or 35's if I get the 2 inch coil spring spacers up front.

Decided to go with the 285/70-17 BFG AT KO's as they'll be about the same stock height as the 20's. As much as I wanted to cram the 315's in, might as well do it properly before things get broke including me!
