without a bed and fenders it MAY be possible.

Not a chance.

Fitment isn't the real issue here. Your suspension can't handle that much tire, you'll be breaking parts left and right, and that's if it's only a DD, offroad you would be fixing your rig every 5 minutes, it's just not worth it. If you want to run that big of a tire a solid axle swap is in your future.

That wide on the front would be crazy. You definitely need to re-gear on anything over 36". I ran some 37s on my truck for an hour once. Big difference in the lack of power going from 35's to 37's.

37" Goodyear Wrangler MT/R on my truck for about an hour.

Would 36" tires be good with a 4" lift (front and back) without problem?

No. To fit 36" you'd need a Superlift plus a bodylift and probably cut the fenders and add Bushwhacker flares. And again, if you have a 4x4, the front end won't be happy with tires that big anyway. 33" is as big a tire that the front end will tolerate without breaking a lot of parts.

This is a 4x2 Sport Trac where you can get away with 37" tires a little easier. As I recall, it has a TT, Ranger Edge drop spindles (no, they won't work on a 4x4), a body lift, and a sprung-over conversion in the rear, along with Bushwhacker flares. (It's also hiding a 350 Chevy engine and been rewired like a street rod with little in the way of electronics.)

Hey Bro, cherryy set up. where'd you get that set of fender flares? are those bushwacker?. i was talking to a bushwacker rep and they said they discontinued falres for our trucks. but im still able to find it up on different offroad part websites. just curious, id like to pick me up a set.
