Taller tires will make it more unstable. Just sayin'.
That goes without saying. Taller tires with a lift would make it even more unstable, hence the forward a-arms. If I go forward instead of up to gain clearance for taller tires won't be as unstable. As I see it the tires rub on the forward/bottom of the floorboard, so sliding forward should get me clear.

I know it does on the P5 platform and needs spacers, the P7 I have no clue. My P1 I really don't know much because I lengthened it by 1.5 inches before I put the 30" tires on it without running spacers and is stock width, really the only thing I do know is, trees are your friend on off camber trails.

Agreed with the trees! I just need a little more as the only place I've been stuck is high centered on roots & rocks. I figure this is my best bet to achieve the clearance. And I can't go much wider because when I transport it goes in the bed of pickup.

Like I said I know 0 about the P7 platform. Can you spare couple inches in the bed of you truck? If so, go with the taller tires and if that doesn't work out get some spacers?

Just met a guy running 32" Silverbacks on his P700x4 - he fabricated a new mounting location for the factory forward A Arm just forward of the stock placement. It looked like a simple solution and worked really well.
