I'am putting on my 3 inch body lift, Shackles and F150 spacers soon. I hope to get about 4 to 4.5 inches. Should I go with 33's or 32's?

Go with the 33's if you can! You'll probably have to do some trimming though!

hey man go with 33's the look alot tougher. Ive got them on my truck with just a 3 in body lift and I had to do a little trimming but nothing too major. http://www.progressivelogic.com/other/mytruck1.jpg

Thanks for the reply's. I think I will go with 33's. Hey Fenderguy do you have any pics? How much did you have to trim of the fenders?

It depends on what you are going to do with it. You saw my truck and I had to do some cutting even with the 5.5" lift, but then I went with 10" rims.

I think if you do a lot of four wheeling you will still hit with the 33" tires. There are places that I even hit, but then I unhook my sway bar. If you plan on doing mind four wheeling I would think the 32's would work fine.

Good luck on your choice. I guess it's up to you what you really want. You can put 44's on a Explorer if you want, just depends on how much work you want to do to get them on.
