For a SOA I would go with a 35 as a minimum. A 36 or 37 fills the wheel well much better. You can make a 35 fit SUA but you are going to be cutting some body or running some serious lift springs and longer shackles to not rub.

What year 40? I had 35's on mine with SOA and stock axles for years without a problem. I wouldn't go over 35's though with the stock axles.

Aure you can run 35" SUA. Take your front fenders off and cut the crap out of the rear quaters...
