i am plannin on gettin an old body style Z71. i am plannin on puttin a
6" Superlift suspension and a 3" body lift and then raising the torsion
bars. this truck is gonna be used for offroad purposes as well as
daily driving. i am definitely putting some kind of super swampers on
it but im not sure what kind. i want 38"-40" tires...if you have any
recommendations for what kind of super swamper tire i should use and/or
the largest size i could fit, feel free to leave me any comments. i
want the biggest tire i can fit but i also want tires that will last
with daily driving. any help would be appreciated. if you have any
questions just ask and i will post a reply.

firestone TX 36 in. is a great tire . the narrower the better for
going through all kinds of sand,snow,mud. ect. I have a set and am very
happy with them.

i would like to get some kind of super swampers anywhere from 38" - 40"
...i would like a tire that is wider than 12.50", preferably atleast
14.50"...but keep in consideration that i need something that will last
with daily driving but i also want good performance in mud

And I want a beautyful model in my bed, but neither you or I will get
what we want! <g>

Go with two sets of tires, one for daily driving, one for fun. You run
tires that big and agressive and you will have both ride issues, and
wear issues. No mud/off-road tire will wear well on the highway.
