The rear end is weak. The steering links are weak. However both are strong enough to be a daily driver. Stay with the smallest tire you can talk him into.

 

I'd go with a 2 inch puck lift and some 32s. Make sure to be careful if you do a puck lift and increase the tire size that the tire doesn't rub on the rear coil buckets if you stay with the factory rims.

 

And above all, watch out the he makes the payments! (No disrespect to your brother intended)

 

edit - if it's a I6, it'll probably have 3.08 gears (although I think some had 3.54s)  if it's a I4, it'll probably have 4.10 gears.  An easy upgrade is to swap I4 gears into a I6 rig to compensate for increased tire size and keep the motor in the correct powerband.  IF you are in this situation, I've got a set of 4.10 axles, complete, just removed that I'm taking to the swap meet in March.   However, the rear end is still a little weak for wheeling purposes (in my opinion)
