33" tires on a stock height would be fine i'm pretty sure if anything all you'd need is a t bar crank

it isn't the spindles, it is spring and shock kit for a 05 (I was told and asked about it and will fit my truck). And i look at the spindles. It hard to choose what way to go?

K bought the 3" spindles this weekend and found a deal on toyo MT 285 75 17 (34.1) and just run 295 70 17 (33.8). My question now is would i have to put blocks on the rear, so they dont rub or run it stock as it is? And if so 2" block work?

Thank you

a 285/75/17 is not a 34.1 tire....just so you know....you may need a 1.5 block in the back.

285/75 - 33.8

295/70 -33.3

315/70 - 34.4

I dont see where you would need blocks in the rear to not rub as you will not be doing that but you will certainly want it to be leveled
