good tire size..

Hey I was wondering if I could put 33"s on my truck without lifting it. It has 31"s on there now, and they just loot too small, anybody know offhand? my truck looks smaller than others due to this fact. I have tried uploading photos for people to see, but I cant get it to work. Thanks.

Is it 2x4 or 4x4. My f-150 has 31's but 33's would fit, it would be tight thought. I dont know how much clearance you have thought.

33 should fit. they might rub a little on a full lock turn

I run the same as ranger-g, and never had a problem. I thought that you might even get away with 35s, but they might rub.

No kidding huh? I have a set of bfg 35x12.50x16.50 brand new, I just didnt want to waste the tread while the truck is so low. Hillbilly, can you post any pics? mine cant load up for some reason. I personally dont think I could put 35s on my truck, it just doesnt look high enough. Especially for a 79 4x4.... was the ranger edition lower for some reason maybe? Heck, I dont know, it just bugs the he** outta me.
