If you're going to lift it that much, I would go atleast 33", if not bigger (depending how much power you have).

Better check your gear ratio, if its a 3.55 you will probably loose your OD or 5th gear. Not enough RPMs. 2002 AWD currently 3.55 with 285/75/16 or about 33/11.5. 12.5 may still rub. Just my 2 cents.

Hi, 6 inches is the max lift, a 3 inch body and 3 inch suspension, I currently have 285/75/16's and they clear fine with a touch of rub at extreme angles. I think they're around 32.5 x 10.5 or 11' wide and look real appropriate, any wider think would rub on inner wheel well. I have seen on yahoo a quad cab with the 6 in lift and 35's. Hope this helps

Yeah there's a local QC with both lifts built up by an off-road shop( since sold to private party) on 35x12.5x15, aftermarket rims, although I don't know the backspace. And a few others who posted on these boards over the years did similar, may require some trimming. Just a FYI, manufacture specs on my 285/75/16's is 32.8 inches tall, actuall measurement at 50 psi, just a shade over 32.
