If your bII is slouching at the back, you'll need atleast some 2 inch lift blocks.for even better results,get any kind of explorer rim,they are wider and wont squeeze the tire,making it even taller.Widen the truck's track too.I would say a 30x9.50 or 235/75-15 will fit any BII with any rims without a lift of any kind.

I have 265 75 15's on stock rim and no lift, which measures to about 31" and I have no rub at all, I can turn the wheel all the way and get no rub. If you're wanting the 33's I would run new rims, with a wider width, and 4"-6" lift. On mine if I take it offroad, which is rare, but sometimes when leaving school people are idiots so I cut across the front lawn , but I think my tires would rub if I hit a huge bump, I've taken it across ditches with no problem but I wasn't going 25 MPH either.. I'm working on getting a 6" lift and running 33x12.5's with 15x10.50 rims but till then it's how it looks in the gallery.

i have a bronco II with 4" suspension and 3" body and i run 33x13.50 on 15x10 rims, but i ran thoes tires with just the suspension lift and minor fender trimming. the only thing that rubs now it that the tires are so wide that they rub the front sway bar.

Talking bigoletires

i used to run 31x10x15 on some cool alum.. rims i picked up at a junkyard for $100 with no lift of any kind i rubbed alittle on front when i cranked the wheel all the way while stomping on the gas... no problems on rear until one day i was climbing this super steep bank that dropped all my weight on the left rear...... it rubbed hard! hard enoughto cut deep into a couple of the lugs.....but i was doing something stupid and it only happened once......driving normal to mild wild no problem...wild to mild nutz slight problem





im running 33x12.50x15 swampers on chrome rims with a 4inch body lift and about an inch trimed off the fenders with a sawsall...the 33's on the 4 inch lift did not rub on the street except when i turned sharp...so i adjusted my driving habits until i could find some big springs then the next day this little hump jammed my back tire into my back fender and slashed my brand new $200 tire.. i was mad so i went home and broke out the trusty saws all and took off about 1inch or so all the way round.... problem solved



looks great works great the body lift cost less than $200 and was easy to put on... i'm happy


i plan all sorts of modification to the springs soon so i can go up to 38 's i'll keep ya posted....


peace

someone said their 13.50 rubbed on front have ya tried spacers..space her out get er done!!!!!
