my opinnion, the tires will fit. You will need to trim the pinch seam in front of the rear tire. and you will want to think about upgrading the axles, and gearing if that wasnt upgraded already

I have their 4" LA and I'm running 37" tires on mine

At full flex my Tires rub bad on the rear flares and not that bad on the front.

I guess I would need a set of flares

My tires are 13.50 wide

They rub on the frame on the front!

did I mention that I did adjust the rear axle (moved back) so that I don't have to trim anything

You may also need a stubby bumber. I was rubbing on my bumper when going down a steep grade while stuffing the tires and I am on 35's and a Tera 4". Made an awful noise.

Make it easier and run 37 boggers with tube finders then you will have some room to move and still look big

look up "trimmed fenders"...
they look BETTER than any aftermarket fenders, it doesnt cost much...
and will give lots of extra room.
