I would think either 8" or 9" would work. Not sure how much flex room you would have tho.

Are you willing to rim the fenders or not? If so how much?

You'll need at least 8". If you're using wide aftermarket wheels expect to go more like 10".

Thats my vote too.. I'd say minimum of 8 if you arent trimming.

Plus, 8" lift with 38's would look sick anyways. Do it.. then post pics. :D :rockit:
