Anyone running 36" tires with a 6" fabtech susp only on 97-04?

No other type of lift (body, torsion), just a 6" fabtech suspension. I've got 35's now, and it's getting about time for a new set. Definately looking for an all terrain tire, I'm currently running 35" BFG AT KO's on 16 x 10 wheels. I've gotten about 50k miles off these tires, and still have 8/32 or 1/4" tread left, so Im happy with the BFG's overall milage, anyone have a specific brand that compares to these numbers?

Pics would be cool too.

Thanks.

I know one member at FTW fit 37x12.50's on a 01-03 4x4 Supercrew by using the OEM wheels. I'd stick with 35's. Maybe try to find a 35x13.50.

Check out member Brokus profile. I can't get pictures from his profile to here. He has 6" fabtech, 16 x 10 wheels. 35" swampers. Looks good!

crank those torsion bars up, and 36's should fit easily w/ minor trimming. i wouldn't go wider than a 36x13.50 though w/o a body lift. there's a guy around town that is running 37x13.50's w/ just a fabtech kit on his 97-03 scab, it didn't look cut up too bad, but you could tell by the cv angles he must've cranked those torsion bars up all the way.
