My guess would be yes. As can be seen my RB's page, I had 33's on a 3" lift and minor rear trimming. I currently have 35's on a 6" SOA with rear trimming and very very very minor front trimming. Both of these setups are with WT axles mounted underneath a 4door Wag. You already have the large fender wells so I think the extra 1" of tire will fit.

No, you probaby would not need the body lift. It would give you extra clearance for sure but may not be absolutely necessary.

I'll be looking for some answers on this in a few months for my 80 J-20 as I am looking to put 36, 37, or 38s under it. I am guessing 2 or 3 inches of body in addition to the 6 inch suspension and there should be no problems. For what it is worth I ran 33s on a 3 inch (all 4 springs) on my 84 J-10 w/o rubbing. Also worth thinking about is backspacing. Let us know what you go with.

I run 6in lift and a 2in body lift on a waggy with WT axles underneath it. I hack out my fenders for additional clearence. You should be fine with a 6in lift and a 2 or 3 inch body lift because you have the WT fender flares. Here is a pic of my rig.
