i had 2" spring 2" extended shackles and 2" body lift with a guard cut and 34 11.5 JT2's and they fit easily with plenty or room but you will need atleast 4" of lift a minor guard trimming.

2" Sus & 2"BL will do it. If you’re feeling super keen extend the shackles also; however the front pins will need reinforcing because they will rip off the chassis.

with a 2in body lift you will need to.

1. remove shroud bottom
2. mod the transfer case lever or notch the body so you can get low range
3. lengthen clutch booster hose as it will stretch.
4. remove covers on front indicators as they will rub on compression
5. uncoil brake between body and chassis. It is metal and is coiled and does not have to lengthened.

That was about all I did........I also had 2in spings and ran 35 mtr's easy...

what do you mean by "mod" the transfer case lever, i know cutting the body is an option but then its hard to get the boot to fit again.
and does that mean there is nothing needed for the gear seletor, coz looking at it i would have thought the bend in it was going to cause a few head aches

mod the lever means that you either have to remove and bend it with heat. or cut and weld a new piece........

I notched the body and got a new gear boot from Super cheap and used that to cover the hole that was left.
