How wide of a tire do you want to put under your truck?  My friend has
255/60 15's under his '63 Chevy truck, and he doesn't even come close to
rubbing, it's lowered three inches in back, too.
-> To get to the question, would ladder bars even do anything with the

They wouldn't do a thing.  That type of suspension (three-link) is
pretty good about axle twist, wheel hop, and traction in general.
By the way, what motor do you have in it, and what have you done to it?
