I don't think you wil need some trimming at all. Camotanker did 40's on a 6 inch lift and there plenty of 40's with 10 inch lifts that have alot of room so you should be fine with a 9 inch lift.
I have 38"toyo's with a 10" and they look small. Don't forget about a transfer case clocking ring for the front driveline angle

he did 40's with a 6 inch and a TON of trimming. if you look at his pics next to some stock, you can see how his fender flares are closer to the doors than the stock truck with flares.
i think you can fit them, but what are your gear ratios? will the driveline like the fact the motor can push 40's?

Yes he did alot of trimming I'm just saying h should have no problem fitting them without trimming cause Ive sen 10 inch lifts with 40's and no problem in fact looks a little small.
i like the tire to fill the fender well up. another question there is an index ring. and ive also seen some sort of thing that goes inbetween the ujoints and the yoke??? can someone find me some pics of an index ring because it looks like it could be pretty simple to machine.....
i have 3.73s im not to worried about gear ratio at the moment im gonna do 4.10s or 4.56s when the funds allow it

Youll be fine. Ive seen 39.5 on a 4.5. Guy put them on temporarily just to see what they looked like. Yea he had some rubbing and a Ford-like turning radius, but they fit.
Its gonna depend on the wheels and backspacing and the tire width. If you stick with a stockish wheel and 13.50 tires you shouldnt have much problem.
I have 9" of lift (6" susp and 3" body) and with my 38.5x14.50x20 on 20x10 wheels with 4.5" BS, and had to do some trimming. Tires hit while turning a the rear of the lower fender.
These guys fitting 40s with 6" lift had to trim the fenders like crazy. Even worse with 39.5s on 4.5" lift. As long as your going in a straight line, no problems. lol. If your gonna turn or go nuts and take it off the highway, no way will these low lifts work for ya.
Im just telling you what I have experienced personally with 9" lift. If your sold on 40s, Id advise 11" lift so you can actually use your truck. Good Luck.
