I have 33's with a small lift on mine and it rubs pretty bad. I'm having to get spacers in the front and a block lift in the back to stop it from rubbing.

What size lift you have? I have 33"s with a 3" lift and it doesn't rub at all. I also have rims that stick out the side a ways and don't help it. They come close to hitting at full turn but probably still have a inch or so.

thanks, do you think it would work if i put two inch spacers in the front to level it off? Because the tire i wanna get comes comes in 33 in by 13.5 for the sixteen in rims. i want 10.5. The 34 in tire is 10.5 in wide.

the leveling kit definitely wouldn't hurt to have installed. The front clearance is ofcourse the major issue and since the 2" kit can be purchased on E-bay for around $70(for steel not plastic) it's worth it to go ahead and install.

damn, 13.5" wide is pretty wide. If you lift the front, be aware of the tracbar problem... I have no proof but i suspect that the higher you lift your truck, the faster the tracbar will wear out. I put in a stock replacement bar from Moog and it lasted about 20k miles with a 2.5" lift. I just installed a beefier bar and i'm hoping it'll last longer than the stocker...
