i have a 92 sammi i would like to put a bigger tire on but dont have the $ for a lift at the moment i have a set of 30/10.5 wondering if they would fit without any mods and what is the best way to get a little more height without spending a bunch of $

Cheapest easiest way would be lift shackles to edge a 30" tire on.

For stock tire swaps 235/75 R15 is the generally accepted largest you can go before a lift is needed.

  Maybe not so "easy" for someone who has never done a SPOA.You have to know that you "swap" front bottom u-bolt brackets AND that you grind off the "tin" plate on the front axle and smooth it out to accept new leaf pads...little stuff like that!!Oh and you have to "drop" the drag link 3-4 inches too.
