Has anybody run 38", 39" or 40" tires on the Raptor?

[QUOTE="JP7, post: 57711, member: 223"] Yeah, sawzall first then a Dremel for the fine tuning stuff. I can't stand how the 'fins' inside the wheel well collect dirt/mud - cutting them off would make cleaning so much easier (and I'd probably lose about 40 lbs of mud). I just need to look at them closer to see how "structural" the liners are, and what can be safely removed. 3" of lift is a lot for an IFS truck, and will likely involve longer arms and driveshafts and possibly a modded steering shaft. The rear end is easier, with longer, properly arched, leaf springs - but unless the driveshaft is lengthened, you'll be exposing more of the spline at the top which may lead to a 'clunk' down the road. 37's will fit fine with the top perch mod and +2 Deavers. Some hacking away at the fenders may be the solution, or some kind of custom bump stop can be designed so the front doesn't fully compress. I'll have a look this weekend, but this mod isn't in my budget until next year at least. [/QUOTE]
