They should be releasing more info on this sometime this week. I spoke with Jeff and he stated that Jarrett is working out the prices and all. I'm sure they are waiting to get back to the shop after this weekend and working both the Texas Raptor Runs / Phoenix open in Utah.

Is it easy to purchase the 39" Baja TAs? I know the are expensive but I wonder if they are easy to purchase.

Also if you can't have easy access to the 39" T/As, their are several other 39" options out there, right?

If I ever had the urge to go beyond 37" (not likely) I'd try to 38x13.5R18 Toyo MT. Figure there's plenty of sidewall left and the 18" wheel would allow a little more room for brakes/cooling.

Not sure if that's a good tire for the South/Western guys, though.

Not sure if this has been covered, but can we run 39" T/As with this setup?

I'm pretty sure you will be able to, as long as you upgrade to the +4 fenders. I'm not sure if Tony (the owner of the truck SVC is making the kit for) is going to run 39" tires.

+4 glass is pretty much required for this setup anyways. 39"s should fit but might have to end up doing some more firewall trimming as well.

I wonder if we will be able to run 39" BFG T/As, and if the 4WD LT kit will have the same 'stance' as the 2WD Smurf Truck?

This is at least the third or fourth time you have brought up running 39's and each time you get the same answer. The suspension you choose is irrelevant. If you want to run 39's, you are going to have to do firewall mods. In addition, power steering pumps go out frequently with 37s, it will be worse with 39s. IWEs have issues with 37s, it will be worse with 39s. If you want to run them on the street only, it probably won't be an issue. If you want to run them off-road, all bets are off.

I was under the impression that SVC moved the geometry of the front suspension components forward, which negated the need for the firewall mod

This is a 4WD kit, they can't move it much or you would have CV shaft issues. That still leaves the steering, IWE and axle issues. Everything under this truck was originally designed for about a 32" tire (what normally comes on an FX4). You can break a lot of stuff with 37's, 39's will be worse, if you can get them to fit.
