Tire size

I know this topic has came up before, but can we run 33's on our trucks. I have add-a-leafs on the front so I think I should be ok. I know I will have to space the bumper forward but I'm due for some new shoes.

I might as well do my shocks too.. so any suggestions for shocks are welcome. Sounds like a good project to do over the holidays.

33's will fit no problem without shimming...the stock tire is about a 32

- always try to run bilsteins for shocks...have heard good things on edelbrock also....IMHO when I do my front coils and shocks I am just going to get what ever heavy duty one they carry with a decent warranty....it is not a sports car so I can't see spending 75-100 a shock

33's are the same height as 285's but are wider. May rub the leaf spring a bit but not too bad.

Go with Bilsteins.

Those are just my suggestion if you want a good shock. If you don't care go to Advance and get whatever they have. I will get Bilsteins when I do mine.

And, Your Welcome.
