first off it depends on the laws in your state. Beyond that I beleive the max tire size you can go width wise is 12.5 depending on wheel offset. So for me I would just do the 6" lift and go with 36 x 12.5 tire. I dont know what gear ratio you are planning to use but I suggest 4.10:1 with the 36" or lower especially if you go with bigger tires.

Have to agree completely with the previous comment.

In some states it's technically not legal to run tires that aren't completely covered by fenders (or add-on flares such as Bushwackers).

Offset IS a major factor....you don't want the tires rubbing against the frame everytime you try to make a tight turn.

What I did for my off-roader was call a competent tire shop and find someone who knew what he was talking about. (I didn't need wheels nearly as wide as I thought...just more offset than the stock wheels).

Also, you can do a search for 4x4 clubs in your area and just ask a club member who's already been there. Clubs are a tremendous resource.

Really really wide, but not too wide, sort of just right and not too big and not too little, just so it fits really nice.
