What size tires? I just realized that with enough time an money, 9 inches would be pretty darn easy. Practical? No. Bad@ss? YES!
So if I ever went 9 inches, what size tires would fit? I am guessing in excess of 37"

Well with six-inches of lift I fit 35's easily. And with some minor trimming I can flex it all the way with no problems to speak of. So, I'm guessing that with 9-inches of lift, fitting 37's should be pretty easy especially if they are put on the minimum width rims for the specified tires.

Is there anyone on here with that much lift?

;)
6 3/4" from the SOA
2" Springs
2" Body Lift
Looks like 10 3/4" but our older body mounts are thinner, so make it 10" and my springs have settled in a bit more in the last 2 years, I'd call it a decent 9".
Moderate fender trimming and I can make 315's (about 34.5" tall) rub out back. It's not outrageously high and with proportionally more trimming I could go bigger I guess, don't think I will soon though and probably not on this rig.

Tad's axles are wider too... There are more limitations when you try to stuff big meats in a Wagoneer rear fender well vs. a wide track Cherokee or JTruck.

All depends how much fender cuttin you want to do. With no cutting, 35's will rub when you flex it. Simply because wag's have tiny fender openings. So if you cut the fenders back so that only a tiny bit of the flare is left, 37's should fit, but they may still rub when you really flex it out.

75 Wagoneer Trucks and WT's will really not apply to his situation.
Flint's correct, I left that out.
I'm on full width axles and that puts the tire under the wheel well openings, not inside them.
As stuka points out, not a lot of room in there to start with.

Here's the Waggy with 33's on 6" of lift and a little trimming on the rear fenders.

Here is the Waggy on 35's with 6" lift and a lot of trimming front and back.

I'm thinking of doing an SOA with my 4" springs on stock waggy axles and 2.5" wheel spacers. 37's should clear nicely. May have to get the XJ Bushwacker cut out flares.

I had 4" springs and 4" body lift with 36" tires and lots of room. Now I have 14" w/38's and can fit up to 40-42's with plenty of room.

I have *about* 10" of lift with an SOA in the front with a 1" longer shackle, and 56" leafs mounted under the frame in the rear. 39.5" TSL's and my fender flares are MIA. I have plenty of room for movement as far as I've noticed.

Also, the last time I had one parked next to it to compare, my truck is barely taller than a stock superduty.

At my so-so 9" they look down on me at stop lights (yes, I DD this) and in parking lots, but then, that's the only place I see a F350 superduty besides towing something on the I-State.

But whats funny is if you are parked in front or behind one, the amount of ground clearance difference between the two is HUGE!
