15.50 will rub! 13.5 can run with no issue other than cutting down the bolts inside the wheel well. 2" lift, than 15.5 *40 and 41.5 *13.5 will fit.

Maybe send a note to Darcy. Aka HeaveyDe he made up a few 2 inch body lifts and I have one on my truck which is formally his truck. Looks and functions as it should. There really isn't much to a body lift. Best part you get the lift you want for low bucks and no need to put extra stress on your suspension like the spring spacers would do.

If I was going for an aftermarket produced body lift right now, Id be going with the Rubberduck 4x4 body lift kit.

Absolutely, as with their kit, it keeps the suspension at the factory angles to prevent pre-mature wear on the ball joints and other components.
I read that without any lift you can tuck in a 39.5" tire with no issues, once you go bigger you need a lift (body or suspension).

Re: 40" tire no lift ?
I sell a 2" body lift.If you buy Rubber Ducks, he reuses the lowest strap. Some of these are rotten and are not order-able. I have made a simple version that holds the front tank , everything else is just spacers and bolts. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ght_on.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':right_on:' />

Only when putting spacers in the springs and over lengthened springs do you need to worry about ball joint wear.(topping out of suspension) This is mainly in suspension lifts that the angle plate is used on the BJ's.
I have put 40's under stock with new springs(plows in the front for sure).
