Does anybody know the max rear tire size for an SOA '91? I know that there is a sticky for tire sizes, which I read, but it doesn't show front and rear clearances independently and I really only need the info for the rears since I don't expect to run into any rubbing issues with my fronts. I'm almost finished with building my front clip which means I'm close to the spring over conversion/front lift and bigger tires.

If this topic has been covered, I'm sorry for the redundancy and would be very appreciative if somebody could throw me a link to the thread.

P.S. For those that don't frequent the Body Work and Detailing forum, the picture below is why I'm not worried about my fronts.

Stock leaf pack SOA will give 5.5 inches of lift, depending on the condition of your leafs. F-150 leaf pack will add another 2", and you can always get a set of 4" (or bigger) lift packs. There is also the add a leaf kits/extended shackles for additional lift.

Stock leaf SOA-33", 35", 36"

What type/size of lift do you have in the front to level it out?

That's another thing that I need to figure out. I was thinking a 6" lift up front, then I'll just make shackles if I need to raise the rear more.
