Yes, 40" tires will fit with your fenders, 4" lift, and 1" bl.

If you keep it mild when having fun, you should be able to wear those tires out through time.

I have those tires, I have a TF 4in with one inch spacers and a 1in BL. with flat fenders and still had to do some trimming on the rear fenderwell. You really need about 6in on lift to run 40's. Tera flex kits are on the high side of actual lift.

on 37's.....
