Question Just a little clarification

I have read a bunch on the T/S and body lifts. And i am going to do it. I do want the biggest tires possible. And trimming inst a big deal. I do have a TAG front bumper and other than that everything else is stock. When i have read i keep seeing two different answers. So i would like to know for a FACT and who has done it.

So if I do the torsion bar/rear shackle lift of 2" and a 3" body lift then ill be able to run 33/12.5/15 on 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing? And if not then what combination can i run to use this tire set up?

If the exact tire and rim is needed i can add it. those are the measurements i thought that mattered. I will be doing all this as soon as i get back from this **** hole called Afghanistan.

Thanks for the looking and help....hopefully it comes!

That seems like a really skinny rim for a 12.5 my last truck I was running 33/25.5/15 on a 15x10 rim and the tire still looked really wide for the rim

There's a couple guys running lifted D's around my area. From what I looked, they all had 15x10 wheels running 33x12.5 with a t/s lift and a 3"body lift.


Thank you for your service for our country! Stay safe over there

I wasn't sure if it would be too narrow. If i can get away with running a 10 inch rim and only rub at full lock then i will. And not a major rub.

@Turbostixx, thanks man.

Sorry, and one more thing what is a good shock to go with after the lifts, and the best upper and lower ball joints, since i already know they are crap and the weakest point.

Moogs are always good for ball joints

I'm not sure on shocks
