I tried searching for the info and I couldn't find the answers I was looking for.

1. If I go with a BB like the TeraFlex, what's the biggest tires that will fit without cutting the body?

2. What's the biggest tire I can fit the original spare tire well?

3. How much lift do I need to run 32s without cutting?

TIA,

Rick
 
Since you haven't heard from anyone else, here's my .02. As the day goes on, you'll get lots more info.

Can you specify if you intend to run 16" or 17" rims. These vary from year to year. I suppose it's easier to talk in terms of diameter but then the wider tires may not fit in the spare tire well. Some P265/70-16 tires won't allow the cover to go all the way down (depends on tread and manufacturer).

I started with stock Goodyear 245/70-16. Added Teraflex BB and OME springs and have just installed Dunlop Radial Rover 265/70-16 (about 31") all around. So far so good.
 
Rick, you shouldn't have to cut the body unless you're looking at 33s.
A BB will be fine with 245/75-16 or 265/70-16.
The 245 will fit in the spare well and as Valkyr said the 265/70 might just squeak in.
A 32 will fit if you trim the lower portion of your front bumper.( very minor and discreet trimming would do). If you don't want to cut anything then you would have to go with 3.5-4" of lift.
