dont want to start another debate here but if he gets 40's and ends up having issues do to the bigger tires then there would be regrets. 38's are hard on these trucks let alone 40's

thats all im gonna say

With IORF150 having the same amount of lift as you (due to cranked CO and AAL) I would say go with the 38''. They look amazing on his truck and as Trimble said, 40'' are just going to be even harder on it.

Thanks cecil, ya I say get 38's. 40's just look to crammned in there, imo I like some room between the tire and the fenders, but thats just my taste.

I would stick with 38s. like said before, if you go offroading, you will want 38s. if you go any bigger, it will be harder for it to "flex" while off roading and end up terring up your body panels. not to mention it being harder on the truck. 40s on stock gears would really eat that tranny. im still waiting for my tires to be sold and then im regearing my rear axle for now...until i can afford the front again. lol as much as i like bigger tires, i also like the gap between the tires. too me makes it look bigger, if you have too big of tires it just looks like you crammed them under there. IMO i would definetly stick with 38s. love mine...just cant wait til i get the gears
