What size tire?

What size tire?
What are the largest size rim and tire can I fit on my 93 stock height pickup with out rub?
Does any one have a link for a basic lift and cheapest for cosmetic for the same year, a link external to this site/forums or even internal. Just getting into yotas and looking to get educated.
Any help?
Joe

is it 4wd? The truck in your avatar looks like a 2wd..
4wd largest tire on stock height is 33x10.5 on stock rims (15x7 I think)

if it's 2wd (as it appears in your avatar), tire sizes have pretty much been covered. But I managed to run a 205/75r15 in my 91 2wd and only had minor rubbing issues if the steering wheel was more than 75% turned and hit a bump, one like coming off the street into your driveway doing 10 mph.
There are two options for lift though- body lift or suspension. Since you said "cosmetic", a body lift is the cheapest. If you have a column shift automatic... good luck. Otherwise, anywhere from .5 to 3 inches can be found, but you may have issues with more than 1-2" with a floor-shift automatic.
As for the suspension lifts... there are two rather well-known companies offering suspension lifts for the 2wd trucks- Total Chaos and Downey Off-Road. There are/were others ... Fabtech for instance, which no longer sells the kit or other lesser-known / newer companie). There is also a company called Obsessed Motorsports which makes front spindles for lift.
Suspension lift in the rear becomes tricky because the rear axle is on top of the spring so... add-a-leafs and extended shackles can get to about 3.5" in the rear (on average). If anything higher than that is needed, have spring perches welded on top of the axle and put the axle under the springs- that alone will get almost 4" lift.

I say balljoint spacers up front with thicker T-bars, Longer rear shackles in the back, remove the sway bar, run 30" tires, or a metric equivilent to that or some 28's, and get some rancho/bilstein shocks, and it'll be good for pre runnin stuff.. OH and get a idler arm brace, IFS truss, Skidplate, and A-Arm braces.

meh. BJ spacers maybe. longer shackles... maybe.
It took a 3.5" Fabtech lift to clear 30's on my 91 without rubbing.
IFS truss? on a 2wd? the lower arms only mount in one spot, and have a strut to the front crossmember.
Maybe you can see....
...if not
Are you clicking around Downey's website?

From lookin around at 2wd trucks, if you have decent fab skills, you could make a 1-2" susp lift for pretty cheap... that is if you can fab ur own BJ spacers and get some aluminum to block up the rear springs. Otherwise, its buyin bigger leafs or addin some, and BJ spacers for the front. Dropping a 2wd is in the same boat to, as you can lower the rear with blocks or take out leafs. Problems come with the front, cuz to truly lower it u need spindles.
