31" MTZ's on my 92 lux scrub on the mudflap when you turn under compression- you'll need more lift to clear them, or some love with a BFH.

I have 33's on my solid front 4 runner, you'll have to add more lift or as ferrit said take to them with a BFH.
The other option I've heard about is to relocate the axle on the leaf pack an inch or so forward and add a drive shaft spacer. I'm not sure if it would mean you have to alter steering components or not....

Yeah shorter draglink and torque rod with the longer shaft re drilling the perches will get you 35mm foward can run 35's but they give the guards some love
plenty of parts on the bench

Think I got either 3 or 5 degrees of plates in the front of mine, will find out for sure if needed.
