Theres a couple ways, you could either crank you coilovers 2", You might be able to get 38's doing that, or you could add a body lift. Them are really your only two options.

Crank up the coilovers and add a body lift.

Depending on what you're doing (what you drive through - or over) Id do the body lift first (purely for your front suspension's angles) and see how you like that. You can definitely fit 38s with a BL and a 6" Susp. but if you want more height later you can crank up the coilovers.

Or you can do like IOR said and probly just crank it up up front and see if they fit... if they barely do and they just rub, go to a medical supply store and get some EMT shearers, they cut plastic fenders nicely

Go with a body lift and you will be able to fit them

body lift= fit for sure

cranked coilovers/aal or lift shackle= fit with a high offset wheel and the right width tire

i like doing things myself. i put my suspension lift on. Is it to much harder than that. How much do you think it would cost to have someone do it.

On our body styles they are very expensive to get put on, I was charged almost a $1000 just to put the lift on. Its not that its real hard to do, its just theres a lot of labor involved.
