Lol did you do any research/prep work, or just add 6" of lift + 1" of body, and think you could call it a day?

There are many ways to jerry up running 40"+(which is proportionately at least the size of tire you want to be running with that much lift)...if you wanna do it right...and I said right, mind you...you're looking at 20-25k in axles, drivelines, wheels, tires...
That's not including suspension/body work to fit that large of a tire in your wheel well at full flex.

Hold on guys give him some credit

He just put on a 7" lift why would he know what tire size he could run , I mean anybody who does a lift would not know what size tire to run

Why would you need to know what tire size you need if you are just going to go out and put a 7" lift on it , me I be more concern what drive shafts it has
