Well Washington is a big state.  I'm 40 minutes North of Seattle.  By 'tracks' to you actually mean 'tracks'?  or are you looking for snow-wheeling?  The only track anywhere near me that I know of is Straddleline ORV Park near McCleary.

I would be extremely surprised if your 6" lift is compatable with 38" tires.

Washington Mud-flap law is that the mudflap must cover the entire width of the tread and come down to the centerline of the axle (I'm in WA too).
Do you know any 4x4 tracks out here in washington that are still open?

Already been answered but I'm running 37"s boggers with 6" susp lift and 3" body lift. When I first got the tires I had 4" susp lift and 2" body lift... Never scrubbed and I put her threw some rough stuff.

Winky...when I first looked at the pic u just posted I felt a little sick to my stomach and didn't know why..until I looked in the back ground of that pic. You know that if you park those things next to good trucks their problems start rubbing off. But don't get me wrong I will still beat it like the Red-headed ford it is.

Another question, if i perform the rear shackle flip kit that should give me anothe 4 inches in the rear, right? and then some 10 inch springs in the front. I lifted it not even a month ago but lifting is like horse power you can never get enough. plus i want to buy new tires so i was thinkinking why not some 40's or bigger.

Easy Turbo......... LOL  Big rubber is nice just keep in mind usually all of the other drivetrain componets have to be changed. Shackle flips are good inexpensive lift alternatives. However the real challenge is getting correct geometry in the front axle.

Not to mention that 40's on 1/2 ton axles is a recipe for failure :(. I ran a D60/14bolt combo under my last Blazer and I was spinning 36" Boggers. Lots of fun and wheeled the heck out of it before I sold it to a friend in Colorado.
