Not to give you a stupid answer but a whole lot of work. At least 6-7" lift and lots of cutting. Not to mention axle upgrades and all kinds of steering issues. I know I can clear 35"s on the street no problem but they rub with any articulation. Im running 4" lift and cut out fender flares and off road with 33-12.50s

Lots of custom work/fabbing -i.e: custom front and rear driveshafts, custom control arms front and rear, custom panhard rod, longer brake lines, etc. to work with the amount of lift you'd need, plus h.d. axleshafts and diff/spider gears.

Or if not looking to stay street legal, use a bolt-on lift and trim,trim,trim. And then trim some more.

ya figured on all of that. I was hoping to get away with 4" but that probably won't happen. Do you have a build thread on your truck? I absolutely love your truck.

More of just serious capabilities. Looking for a rig that can do just about anything, no matter where I take it. May end up running 33's. This is still the planning phase. Not buying parts just yet.

Ill chime in now with the cliché there very capable stock, look at the camel trophy BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Just admit it, you want a bad *** LOOKING truck too. Not many rover owners are into going big. 33.5 x 10 is about my limit, but hey if you want do as you wish
