it will depend on rim bs, if not it will rub the plastic inner fender and the bumper plastics, if its a beater truck go for it, if anything a spacer might help

I think fabtech has a spindle lift kit but they will make your front wheels stick out farther than your rear ones if I'm not mistaken.

doetsch makes 3in lift spindles and that should clear your 33's without a problem, the rear will clear without a problem, you will only need to lift the back to match the front...some people like the front higher and will leave it like that, some prefer perfect level or factory rake, and will put blocks or add-a-leaf to bring it up.

I got a cheap kit off of ebay that came with 2.5" springs for the front and 1.75" shackles for the rear, and I plan on gettin some spindles in the future and a add-a-leaf to get the truck up higher

PS...pretty much any spindle will bring the front tires out a little, thebigredone has a project truck that has the spindles installed and you can find his pics to see how far they stick out...about an inch
