33 x 12.50 tires?

i have a 1984 bronco with a inline 6 and got a free set of 33's and would liek to have them on that truck. will they fit no problem under a 2 inch lift or do i need a 4 inch lift. i do not want a body lift b/c my steering is already bad enough and it would just make it worse. thanks.

Should be fine with no rubbing. Check out the table on this site.

I, too, have a set of 33x12.5" tires laying around I want to put on my Bronco, but my Bronco is a 1995 with the wraparound bumper. Would 2" of suspension lift clear this, or should I just go with a 4"? I know it's possible to shim the bumper out, so if that would work with a 2" kit that would be awesome (and cheaper). Thanks.

Had 2 different sets of 33's on my stock height '85 (BFG's & Michelin's). Both would just barely rub on the radius arms at full turn.

Seperate question. Was there any difference between the single and dual front shock setups as far as ride height was concerened? I noticed my rig with the factory dual shocks seemed to look at least 1 to 2 inches lower in the front than in the back.
