While you're down there you can check out your all the body mounts, radius arm bushing, tie rods, look for leaks.

You should be able to fit 33s under your truck too without a lift too, it's what I'm running right now, she just rubs a little on full cranked wheel.

I think it came with the lift..it only rubs when in reverse and turning. it has a block between leafs and axel..so I am assuming. it needs new tie rods and bushings too..just another weekend.

Since it has a lift, you should try looking into the tie rod end flip. I hear it gives you a better steering radius with the lift. As for the blocks in the rear, you might want to also look into just switching to larger leafs so you can get rid of the blocks.
