A little off topic, but check these 33s out, these fit, but the guy said they rub on turn. This is stock ride height, but look how high it sits with these tires lol. I bet with the leveling kit, or with like a 2" total lift with blocks it would work. Maybe Ill try it when I run these bald.

Gonna call them in the am....Am getting them locally, but they had to "order" them in from a central office. I was planning to have them put on tomorrow, so we'll see if we can catch the delivery truck before it leaves for the morning delivery run. Thanks for your input!

This summer i plan on putting 33s on my truck with a leveling kit, i was gonna get TRX shocks for another inch but i figured since my normal OEM shocks suck the TRX prob arent much better. I was also thinking everyone says monroe and bilstien making shocks for us, i looked at bilstien and they make alot of leveling kit shocks, now if htey did that and the front shocks were 2" bigger that would mean with those and a leveling kit we got ourselves a 4" lift, but thats assuming thats what they are doing. If that is so i would say no prob 33x12.50 tires and make your truck look like a beast.

But how much added stress would 4" of lift place on the front axles? Isn't that why 4" and 6" lift kits are typically quite expensive as they have to take into account the change in suspension geometry?

yes. Two to three inches is pushing it on those cv joints. I cheated and added xtra spacers to my 2" leveling kit, to getthree inches.3" up front,2" in the back. as soon as I wear out these factory tires, I'm gettin 33s.

Did you use the trailmaster kit? How did you install the spacers for 3 inches total lift? I had the Truxxx leveling kit on my truck and even though truxxx said it would work on my 4x4 it didn't. My front axles kept binding up so they couldn't do the alignment and the upper control arm rubbed against the coil spring. I am going to go with the trailmaster kit because most people who have it like it and had no problems.

It's really just a littlemore than 2.5". I used some aluminum stock to make a 1/4" disc that sits on top of the kit spacer. I think a 3/8" disc would give 3" of lift, but I figured that I was already pushing it. It is the TM kit. I'm also adding 2" blocks in the back
