Default larger than 35's with 2.5 BB??????

I know this has been asked before but I can't seem to find it.

Is anyone running larger than 35's with a 2.5BB??
I have the 16" crager soft 8's on mine and was looking at 35's but wondering if I can fit 36's.
I was looking at 36X13.50R16's
HELP PLEASE!

I think there are several people that are running a 2.5" with a 1" body lift to run larger tires.

You might need a body lift or high clearance tube fenders.

i'd go for the tube fenders eventually. if you go for the 2.5" lift. go for a coil lift. it'll give you a nicer ride than a spacer, however the spacers do fine for me.
