Usually it needs a 2inch lift and some arch timing.

Without mods 245/70/16 is about as big as most go. The issue seems to be how tired the springs are as to what clears.

Pretty sure mine has had springs replaced as there a different colour. I know it's had de carbon shocks and steering damper. What are de carbon shocks by the way?

De carbon are a brand like spax  or terrafirma. Average ish price not cheap and not excessive.
