3" lift w/ 33's?

I tried searching, but I have not seen any pics of this combination. I've seen the thread on here that showed pics of 4.5" of lift and 33's..... but that was a bit too much lift for 33's in my opinion. Anyone out there running that combination? Pics?


I just bought new 33" (or thereabouts) dura-trac's, just wondering if I should sell them since they're almost new..... or if they'll look OK with 3" of lift.
-Thanks!

I would try it. I'm running 35s with a 4 inch lift on my 2000 with no issues.

Is this on your 2013 f250? If so, There are factory tires over an inch taller than 33's, so yes, it will look goofy with a 3" lift in my honest opinion. Im getting ready to install 37's with a 3.5" lift. Wheel width and Offset makes a huge difference on whether tires will fit or not. Are you on factory wheels? 35's on wheels with -offset are a minimum for a 3" lift, for my taste anyway.

Yes it is for my 2013 F250. I definitely think that the pics I've seen of 4.5" of lift with 33's looked goofy, I guess 1.5" less of lift would be close to looking that bad.

33s look too small on a stock F250 IMO let alone one with any lift

Yeah I'm starting to think that the more I try to imagine the lift on my truck. I think I'll leave the 33's on and take some pics before I put on 35's for everyone's reference going forward.

I agree, I have 33" tires on my stock '13 F250 and while they look better than the 245/75/17s that came with the truck they still look small. I think when these wear out I'm going to go with at least some 34s, maybe 35s.
