wont happen man, sorry
i have a 5.5 in suspension, and i rub swayars, only when they are connected of course!

Are you sure, because i can fit 31's stock, why whould 33 rub with 3" lift on it?

I think it has to do with the fender opening. I know with the 2nd gen, you could get away with it b/c the fenders are opened up a bit more than the 1st gen. You may be able to fit a 33X10.50 on the stock rim but I'm not sure.

I am just wondering why you would get your truck painted if your just gonna turn it into an off roader and have the paint and all get messed up on the trails. Sorry I am just wondering, I am in no way trying to start trouble with this post, just an honest question (have to start posting this with everything I say now I guess).

That is not a problem though, i am getting my car painted black, so i decided to buy rockcrawlers naturally. but 4 wheel parts said they dont make black lug nuts or center caps... true??? is so what can i do to get them black?

cus what it was was terrible, and i have an uncle that does car paint jobs, so wasnt as expensive as everyone thinks... whole car jambs and under the hood for 1G.

Hows that W7??? u can run alot more power than 500 watts to it... not trying to start trouble, but why dont u run a 1000/1 amp to it, it would handle it perfectly and have no distortion. just a thought

Yeah, a lot of people have told me. I know the sweet spot is 750 and I will upgrade the amp. I just felt as of now 500 watts was enough power for the little sucker (isnt little by any means, the sub is like 45 lbs, bought 100 with the box now). A reason why I bought an amp that would underpower the W7 is because I wanted to show that even an under powered W7 can out do just about anything out there. I also wanted to make sure I wasnt going to push it to its limits on watts right off the bat, my amp is tuned really low just to break the sub in and its already madly ear popping. I can't wait till the full 500 watts are running into it. Money reasons also came into consideration. 1000/1 would make me wanna get another battery and cap which is another good 200-300 bucks. Hopefully one day, two W7's will be running in the back of my X with 1000/1 amps...... dreams are great . Thank you for the comment though zac... and 1k man? thats a lot of money... I would just do a custom spray paint job at home ha

along with your 3 inch body lift throw in the front coil spacers (1.5 inches of lift) and Shackles 1.75 inch of lift for a total close to 5 inch of lift and you should be ok with the 33.s

If you dont mind me asking how much u pay for the W7?

The only TRUE way to tell is to put the tires on and see! There are lots of people that rub and lots that don't. It all depends on your truck. Give it a try and see what happens. If you do rub do a bit of trimming where it's needed. The shorter the lift the bigger the tires is what you want.
