I run a similar wheel/tire setup. No problems on that front.
But make sure your rubber stops on the trailing arms are adjusted so
they do their job BEFORE the shock bottoms out. Test the stops once
the conversion is completely on by using a jack to raise the trailing
arm until the rubber stops compress. If your shocks bottom out before
this happens then the brackets may rip from the frame and take a few
pieces with it. Ask me how I know.
