Fit 33s ?

[camarors8992]

The lift is just a 3" lift front/rear, but I intended on a 1.5 spacer + shackle to get me up a little higher along with a Hack-n-tap. My parents asked me if i wanted anything for christmas ( The joys of being 20 ) and Yes, Yes I do. A set of 4 33s is in my sights and wanted to see if it's doable or not.

Currently. 30x9.50

Before the 30s it had 31s, it didn't rub the fender flares ever, only the control arms on tight turns but that doesn't bother me. What do you think ? 33s or 32s ?

stick to 31's . i have the re 3.5 kit netted 4 inchs of lift and bolted up a set of 33's and they cleared expect to trim the plastic inside of the wheel well untill they fit. and don't expect to disconect the sway bar you will put the tire right into the fenderget a good set of 31's and wheel. look on my face book and you can see what it looks like and sweet truck btw

afraid of trimming? 33's fit nicely on a 3.5" lift

I've got 33's on about 3 1/2 -4" of lift and TJ flares. They fit quite nicely.

I'd go 31's. It'd be easy to fit them with trimming, but i doubt you have the gears to push em.

I run 31's, and the mileage isn't horrible at all.

X2. As long as you take you time trimming the fenders it will look good. The rear of the front wheel well is where most of the trimming will need to be done. You don't need to move the flare but you might want to trim the flare toward the bottom of it.

Do some searching, you'll find some great ideas.

Exactly. Preparation,. preparation, preparation. If you take as much time as you need getting ready and prepping for a minor trim, it will look factory to anyone who doesn't know.

You can do it man.

i think i can see my reflection through your tire shine through my computer monitor

 

[camarors8992]

Well I was thinking 33" duratracks, but if i go with 31s I could prolly squeeze some MTRs out of them or at least try like hell.

Yea, I try to keep it as clean as I can.

How much flex is limited with 33's on that amount of lift?

 

[camarors8992]

I have no idea, I've only had 31s and 30s under it with the lift it has and neither have ever rubbed.

run pizza cutters and you can

I wonder if 33x10.5's are better on gas than 12.5's.... just thinkin' out loud.

they are a bit lighter and have less rolling resistance so anything is possible

i ran pizza cutters last winter and loved them.

compared to a 31" tire with the same amount of trimming, you would need to bumpstop 1" more

like said you will need about 1" more bumpstop

but, if you are so concerned about that lack of 1" you can change out other components in your suspension and make up for it in droop

Heres mine on 33x12.50s

Has a 5 inch lift total front and rear, trimmed front fenders and nothing rubs!

 

[camarors8992]

I spy rear blocks.

Yep had to put those on while I wait for the junkyard to dry up so I can build my bastard pack.
