One question:

Haven't we already answered your questions in 3 different threads already?

you need 5" of lift for 33x12.50s.
Use a torsion twist in front and lift spindles. In the rear go SOA.

Or you could do TT/shackles and the 3" body lift, but I would go with the first option.

Myself and many other members won't be very pleased if you ask this question for a 5th time.
