you can fit 33's with only a 3" body lift

*huskyfan23* · 02-25-2005, 08:19 PM

But they will rub.

appx91 · 02-25-2005, 08:30 PM

Yes they will rub. Just get the Sky Jacker 2" kit and you should be set. Or just trim the fenders.

k thx for the help. do you think i can instal the lift kit here at hme or do u need a shop to do this, and if u need a shop how much would a shop charge

*huskyfan23* · 02-26-2005, 01:56 PM

You can do it at home.

*huskyfan23* · 02-26-2005, 05:09 PM

33's will rub with a 2.5" lift also. You should combine lifts, or buy a Skyjacker/Superlift 5.5".

*j602* · 02-26-2005, 05:26 PM

Just throw on the skyjacker 2". Believe me, with what you have, this is the simplest and cheapest option. It can be done in a few hours at home with common tools and a jack/jackstands.

*huskyfan23* · 02-26-2005, 05:50 PM

But he wants 33's.

*j602* · 02-26-2005, 06:00 PM

Right. He already has a 3" BL. With the 2" skyjacker, he'll have 5" of lift, which is plenty to clear 33's.

*huskyfan23* · 02-26-2005, 06:05 PM

Ahah! I thought he was asking aboot a 3" lift. Gotcha.

appx91 · 02-26-2005, 11:05 PM

Yea you will have plenty of room with the 2" SkyJacker and the 3" BL. Good luck man.

You can trim carefully and not see what you have cut to fit 33's with the 3
