Hey,
With the 3 inch body lift you should be able to run the 33's. I have a 95 with a 2 inch suspension lift. I'm running 31's. I know that 32's will fit. I might upgrade to that later, when these tires wear out. I don't see how 33x12.50x15's would fit on my truck even with the 2 inch lift. I'm sure they would fit in the back. The front is where the rubbing problem comes in. Hope this helps.

As of right now I am running 32 on my pick up and they fight tight without a body lift. I put on a 3" body lift and they fit better and allow frame twisting off road. The only thing is the fact that they rub on the frame when at almost full turn. I have 32x11.5x15 so you'll have to go narrower.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-Oct-01 AT 03:38 AM (EST)[/font][p] 33's will fit, but you'll have to space out the front bumper. But, if you're planning on doing some wheeling, forget it. You'll be rubbin' left and right. You'll hit your control arms, maybe your frame, and you won't have any clearance. But, they will fit. I strongly reccomend not doing this. A 32 would be a better choice with stock suspension, by far. As far as body lifts; save your money and buy a suspension lift. It just all depends on you. everybody has different combos that work. Figure out if you want flex or looks, and go from there.

I have a 6 inch suspension lift with my 35x12.5x15 bfg's and it looks great. There is no rubbing at all with these tires. If you got with 35's, consider a gear ratio change, I forgot to think about that when I threw mine on and now it's got no power and I'm too poor to bring it back!
