how much lift do i need to clear 40s

Postby steviestout [OP] » Jul 30 2012, 1:05pm

I have a 2009 gmc sierra 1500, i was originally goin to run 20x12s with 36x15.5 but found a deal on a set of 22x14s i couldnt pass up. I deffinatly want to go bigger than a 35 but Now my problem is i cant find anything wider than a 13.5 except in a 40. So now my question is how much lift would i need to clear 40s? My plan was 7.5 suspension and 3in body.
