Post who's got the biggest tires?

I am wanting to know who has fit the largest tires on their 97-03 supercrew.
I am thinking that after these 35's wear out I am going to add a 3" bodylift to the 6" fabtech lift and some larger tires. Anyone done this before and how large of tires did you fit?

Several people have run 38x15.50's with a 6 inch Fabtech and 3 inch body lift, but it's a very tight fit.

I had that on my old supercrew. I had 38 claws and had to trim some. 37's would be perfect w that set-up.

I am running Mickey Thompson MTZ 38x15.50/16 on my 97 with no problems. I have a 4.5 superlift, 3 inch body and add a leafs, my torision bars aren't even cranked all the way. They rub just a little bit but not bad at all. I also run a 1.5 inch wheel spacer on the fronts as well.

see my sig, you will need to do some trimming and cut off the nub on the lower control arm but i dont get any rubing normal driving offroading at full lock it will rub on the torsion bars.

info

thanks for the info.....i already know what you are talking about with the nub on the lower control arms. i put these 35's on the stock rims(tight fit) and one day i was backing out of a field road, dropped the front driver's tire in a ditch and couldn't back up. Like most people would do i put it into 4 low and ended up ripping a hole into my tire. It was hitting the control arm and i didn't know it till it was too late. That cost me about 300 bills.

Does anyone know why that nub is on there in the first place? also if there is any harm in grinding it off?
