This is for everyone who doesnt think 33's will fit on the stock suspesion. Here is one of the guys i go offroading with, he has 33x12.5 mounted on the stock 15's! The only time they rubbed was on a serious flex, but thats it.

Anything will fit on stock suspension if you cut enough sheet metal.
 






edit, i guess he did do a lil trimming
 






You can def tell he did. That lil black piece of plastic on the bumper doesnt go all the way to the end of the bumper. Its stops a lil bit before.

i wasnt aware he did it
 












So you're comfortable telling people that they can go ahead and buy 33s for their stockers and they won't have any problems?
 






He cut. As Tex said, the bumper doesn't go as far as it should and the corner of the back of the front fender is trimmed. And it still looks like it rubbing like mad.
 






I beleve it. I have 32's on mine and 31's and the 31 have no rub at all but 32's rub on the sway bar and i had to trim the lower part of the fender, but not the front fender...another wierd thing is that 31's on it look sooooo small with abit of space around the wheel wells.
 






ok, i wasnt aware he cut them.. I thought he just put the tires on and thats it
 






heres a pic of my truck with 31's look at all that room in the wheel well looks like i have a 2" lift......or somthings bent????
