I'd say 32s but it's really up for debate to be honest. It really depends on a lot of different factors. You really want to go big don't you?

Yes, 32's, like a 265/75/16 will work for medium duty wheeling but eventially you will need to address the spider gear wear.

How much do spider gears cost???

I should be able to get 34's on this bitch with a 2inch lift!

34's arn't that Big.

32's require a 2" suspension lift probably brake lines if you don't want to ruin yours, 34's will require MUCH more. You'll need about 4" of lift, brake lines, new drive shafts, new spider gears as mentioned, and a few other things as well.

It is not just the gears, you would need locker that have 4 spider gears for more strength, instead of the stock smaller 2 spider gear factory set up.

Damn!
I've see 35's in person they arn't that big!

Ok so 35's out of the picture.

I just want to know the largest tire I can get with a 2" suspension lift.

32 inch tires would be the biggest. That's 265/75/16 or 235/85/16.

Which would be better for off-roading.

265/75/16 or 235/85/16?

The fatter 265s are better for thick mud and snow, but the thinner 235s will give you better grip on rocks and in water crossings and stuff. I'm going with 235/85s after my lift even though I do more mud than rocks because I think the difference is negligible, and the thinner tire will stuff up into the wheel well better.

Well where I live there isn't any big rocks and boulders.

Pretty much there is two things MUD and MUD.

So I was thinking the thick.

Now I don't have to get any new axles or gears with 32's right???
