fitting 33's

hlfnavyas · Oct 14, 2003

I trimmed my fenders and can now fit 31's with no rubbing. The suspension is stock, and the passenger side leaf is arcing the wrong way. Obviously I need new leafs. I would like to fit 33's. Could I fit the 33's with a 3" lift? Thanks in advance.

its like that old speed saying

big tires cost fenders, how much do you want to trim?

you can, ive seen 33"s on stock springs (not recomended

)

I'm pretty sure if you are willing to cut to fit 31's on a saggy stock suspension, you can get 33's with three inchs.

Call out Trailwgn. He did 32" Swampers on 3 inch. Same height or taller than a 'normal' 33.

Here's my 2001 with a 4 1/2" lift, with 33s. I haven't built up the courage to start trimming yet...

You're looking at a lot of rubbing, or a lot of cutting and still probably some rubbing.

Well, since Vug called me out,
this was 32" Swampers on 3" of lift, with 2" of hockey puck bumpstops in the front. I trimmed way more than needed. With stock wheels, they worked great. Got some slight rubbing on the top of the spring tower in the front and on the LCA's.
You can do it if you keep your wheels tucked in.

i've seen 35" boggers with 3" lift.

it can be done, get a cordless sawzall, a BFG go flex it. where it rubs cut off or smash it in.

is that a 3 inch lift with 33 inch tires paxjrunner? Could you post some pics of the trimming that you did on the rear? Thanks
