i run 31 now with my 3" body and 1 1/8 coil spacers. i wanted the longer coils for more travel and to try to fit 34's. i am not a fan of the calmini 3 suspension because it is way to rough. i have to drive it almost every day to and from work it is only 3 miles of non-highway use.

yea i knew you guys would end up asking me.  so here it is, how to fit 34's for cheap:
calmini 3in body lift
sawzall
welder
torch
LOTS OF TIME
i had to cut my floors out and build my own to clear them.  i have move them back aleast 6 inchs.  trim rear fenders as much as you can.  just cut the bottom of the  fronts.i'm not running a front bumper and my rear dosn't have the cover on it and alot of the stuff that was on it has been taken off.  you will need to cut the rear fender wels out if you want to get full flex with these tire cuz they rub and hit every where.  i would also extend the wheel base about an inch.  mabey this will give you an idea of the work to fit the rubber.
