42's will fit with enough trimming. And if you have a sawzall it shouldn't cost you anything.

The "large tire" question is recurrent and has been discussed mostly from the aspect of what can be stuffed in the wheel wells. That is only half of the equation though. With stock 3.70 differentials, tires larger that 31s can really create a dog on hills and long inclines and work against you in pulling power off road. I like the look of larger tires on a FJ60 and if you are on flat ground, you will not have much of a problem. But if you are pulling hills, carrying heavy loads or towing, you probably should re-gear with 33s and definitely should regear wih larger tires.

2nd answer: a body lift is the cheapest way to fit larger tires, or add-a-leafs.
body lifts aren't that great though as they change your center of gravity for the worse (for offroading).

Any lift is bad for the center of gravity. Body lifts are worse because you gain no added functionality other than being able to fit larger tires.

A short (1") body lift can aid in rust prevention by creating space between the frame and the floorboards and not allowing salt and other corrosive elements to get trapped between the two. With regard to vehicle handling and capability, I agree with GLTH, a body lift is definitely not a performance enhancing modification.

That right there is the ONLY pro body lift comment I have ever heard. And it actually sounds legit. I think thin poly/teflon/rubber washers would do the same job, minus the retard lift.

I agree and also helps working on a few things under the truck.
I have a 1 inch BL and like the space it gives me.
