87 Suburban How Big?

[nick87burban]

Stupid question. I have an 87 suburban with dana 44 front 14 bolt rear. Has 36x14x16.5 the tire only sits about 2-3" in the wheel well. How much lift do you think I have??? I think its about 10" all spring. Wanting to put on bigger tires but dont know how much bigger. The burb never rubs tires even when off roading hard and flexing alot. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance... Nick
