OME 850/863 springs, N73L/74L shocks, 1.5" spring spacerson all four corners, ran 315/70R17 BFG AT KO's with no issues.

Added 30-mm spring spacers to all four corners and ran Michelin XZL 9.0R16 with minor rubbing at rear of rear wheel well as 619TOY shows.
 
Currently running J's up front and 35 x 12.50 x 15s. I took these off of my 40 when I went to 37's on the 40. So far they only rubbed when my daughter was thrasing about at Pismo. Kinda looks cool with the old school chrome spoke wheels too.

Stock suspension (for now). Running 315 ProComp M/T's. Have done some mild wheeling with no noticable rubbing. Going to take it to Uwharrie soon, so we will see what happens then. Plan on going with J's and L's.

I was running Slee 4" front springs with a 1" spacer, and J spring rears with 1: spacer. 35" truxus. I made custom shock mounts in the rear to fit 14" bilsteins, and had 12" procomps up front. I had PLENTY of room for 35's and didn't rub. I had 3.5" of bumpstops on the rear mainly to keep the shock from bottoming out. Only slight rubbing in the rear on full stuff, as I hadn't done the panhards yet.

Here was a normal pic (sorta don't mind the mountain ;p ) that shows the ride height and clearance.

Running 315 MTR's

I'm running 315 MTR's with J springs front and rear, L shocks. Not sure the lift height, think it's about 3 1/2" but I clicked 3". I put two inch sway bar drops front and rear.

I definitely need to do a caster correction as I travel a lot of highway miles and get a light front end feeling. Not bad though, better than a lot of other lifted vehicles I've had.

Got new gears sitting in their boxes, and still feel like the truck does ok with this tire and gear set up for the most part. Sure, you alway's want more power, but if your in a pinch, the engine does ok with this set up until you can afford to re-gear.
 
Running 35" tires

I am running a 315/75/16 BFG MT.

3.5" J springs, dropped the sway bars 2".

Did not feel the need to lower the bumpstops. I get some very slight rubbing in the rear at full compression. I do not carry that much weight; however i do have pretty heavy custom bumpers and tire swing-away.
 
If your point is what minimum lift it takes to run them, I ran OME mediums, no armor back in 2001 for 3 months with 315/75-16 MTR's while patiently waiting for Cristo to hook me up with additional spacers and control arms. Moderate to light offroad, anything more there would have been plastic shredding and ripping off the LC.
 
I am running a 3" Frankie's Off Road lift with N73 and N74E's with factory bumpstops and 315 BFG AT's on 16x8 American Racing Mojave's with 4.5" backspacing. The only rubbing thus far is on the lip of the front fenders (no flares) and the backside of the rear wheel well at full stuff.
