Default 33" on a stock Ram 1500?

Would a set of 33" Firestone Destination Mud Terrains 285-75-R16 fit on my 1999 Ram 1500 4x4 with stock rims? Will I need to level the front or will they be alright? Thanks

Possibly. They seem to fit for some and not for others.

My truck seems to sit pretty high for a stock 1500 so I don't see why I couldn't use the stock rims, do you think I should level it or just mount them up and see what happens?

I've that size on my truck with no lift and I have no problems. It only rubs when I am turning sharp and hitting some bumps at the same time.

They fit fine on my stock 2500 but as stated above you may have some rubbing on a 1500 (which is almost 2" lower)

Mount them on and if they dont fit level the truck, I'm running that size of tire but with all terrians and it only rubs in full lock, but im not sure with mud terrians.
