that's at 6" already
I was origionaly trying to see if 40" mudders would fit under there or what it would look like but the program wouldn't let me put high flotation tires on the safari.

I mean more!!! Mine is lifted 4-5" and I am working on about 8-12" more.. The only way to clear big tires like that is to get them to ride way below the van b/c there is just not enough wheel well and if you cut the front one back you hit the door, if you cut the rear on forward you hit the slider..

On the front, I've always wondered if you could move the subframe forward a bit to gain clearance. Yes, it would require changing a bunch of other stuff too, but it's an idea I've had.
