I have 3" + 3" and have 35's Not much room but for maybe 1/2 to 1 more inch before rubbing. My 33 X 12.5 rubbed with 3" lift. Mine hit on the outside edge of the wheel opening. Chin spoiler on the front, plastic wheel liner in the rear

Then again some of you guys are running stock wheels with 285,305,315.

Yeah....I have done so much reading about it it makes my head spin...stock wheels and 33's/35's only tend to rub on the lower control arm...but then you dont have enough width for the tires (12.50)...then when you get wheels that are 8-10" wide, and have the off set, this is when they rub on the plastic liner or the body...I have been debating really hard about gettng some black crager soft 8 wheels from summit since they are only like $145 for a set of 4 15x8's, then Id probably stay with 33x12.50's.....or If I keep the stock chromies then go with 35's....oh decisions decisions

I love it! It looks like a tonka toy! I want a tonka toy!

Hehe congrats bro, I'm still debating on whether or not i want to lift the body of my truck three inches =/

The moneys tight right now, i'm still jobless, and the gas prices are sucking *****...

The only thing I can do to my truck right now is wax it... And by god I waxed the bitch with 5 coats yesterday, I still smell like wax but shes buttery smooth =D
