I have heard good things about fabtech and skyjacker! with a 9 inch lift, i believe you should be able to fit 40's with ease, if memory recalls it says 42's with a little trimming, you will probably need to regear though!

I run 35's on 4.5" Tuff Country Lift and want to go higher myself, I want to run at least 37's so I will be adding a 3" BL in the future to achieve that!!!

I love your truck!
When I was looking for a screw it was either going to be a king ranch or a black lariat...found the black lariat first, but still love the king ranch!

I'm considering a 6" Skyjacker on the same truck, waiting for time off to have my truck down. I like their option of doubling up the shocks (comes with brackets if chosen).

What minimum rim offset is advised to avoid overstressing the hubs?

No idea. Bought the truck lifted. Never bothered to measure. Fenders sit at roughly 43.5" all the way around if that helps

A fully crank 6" setup will clear 37's. Add a 3bl and you maybe able to clear 40's with trimming. But that big of a tire on a IFS 4wd system is just retarded.
