Hi Eric
Saw a 100 some time back with atleast 4 inch springs, and 15x35" tyres.
If the front diff is solid, it will take whatever an 80 will. (a 105 is basically an 80 chassis with a wider body) The exception is the ABS brake lines that will need to be lengtherned.
I have an 80 with 6 inch Dobsons and 35's, 38's will fit and articulate with a 50mm body lift aswell. The best way to lift it that high is to invest in a 5 link front, as the caster goes way out and so does drivability.
Mine has had the front mounts on the diff lowered,(cut and rewelded) but caster is still far from perfect, and it does tend to "tram track" a little at speed . Then there is driveshaft angles that cause vibration etc etc etc. I would keep it to 4 inches and do a body lift if possible.
