I lifted my marathon 6". The back lift is a simple block style lift. Even with the stock tires, they rubbed in the back. I now have 2" wheel spacers and 11" wide tires in the back with offset rims. I could easily fit a 12" wide tire. All tires are 22" tall. They fit no problem. With a 4" I'd say you could fit 22". That's plenty of rubber. Hope this helps!

I did the Jake's 4 inch lift kit and got the following wheels/tires - 10x7 black 8 window steel wheels with 3:4 offset and 22x11x10 RHOX Mojave II tires. I put 1 inch wheel spacers on all four wheels because I had some rubbing issues with the left front passengers tire. While troubleshooting I believe I saw somewhere (Jake's website maybe) that 3:5 offset is recommended. I like my set up a lot, but wish I'd gone with 3:5 off set to begin with.....it would have saved me from having to buy the spacers.

Hope this helps!
