Re: tire size
up to 30" no modifications required (except possibly cranking up the torsion bars) 31" some people can get away without modifications, but most people report having to remove mud-flaps and front steps and sometimes pounding flat a seam and/or grinding some plastic. anything larger requires a lift of some form.

Re: tire size
Green1's comments refer to the body. But the other issue is what is the largest size that will fit on your rims. Unless you change rims, of course.
The factory stock rims are 15 inch high, 6 inch wide. The six inch width is the limiting factor. All the tire stores I talked to when I was checking for tires said that 235R75/15 is the biggest you can safely put on 15x6 rims. So that's what I did. And those tires are about 29.5 inches high
If you have wider rims, the larger sizes are possible.
