with the torsion lift you should be able to clear 33s with maybe some minor rubbing. I did the T/S lift and Im already looking into another 3 inch body lift. for the T/S lift you need the 2 inch chevy lowering brackets and they are right here. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=204654_0_0_

You will need to tighten both torsion nuts 8 full turns and it will get you 2 inches in front. The way the brackets work, on a chevy the shackles are upside down from our trucks, so 2 inches of lowering means the shackles need to be longer. Our shackles are tiny turds and you can see it by just looking at them.

33's will only clear safely with a T/S lift and a body lift. 32's will clear with just a T/S lift safely.

Now if you want to run 12.5 wide tires you would need set back rims about 2 inches outward as well, and that would most likely go for even the 10.5/11.5 wide 33 tires.

There is no video out there, but please feel free to make one.

Looking at the pics with the rear lowering shackle in place, I noticed on some that the axle is under your leef springs. Mine is not..........and both of the shocks are on the same side of the axle.... ????

To get a stance like that all you need is $300. Just t/s-3"body- offset rims, the most expensive part are tires. Dont be a cheap bastid

So I looked, and as usual was proven wrong. My only question is how can you do a 2in lift with an add a leaf setup? Or is the only option lift shackles? Duranged you should do a video of you wheelin' passin all jeeps.
