98 Sport 4x4 4.0 SOHC
i installed a spring over axle and cranked the t bars like 3 inches with a pair of 4 dr leaf packs being the only thing i've done to my 98 sport???
i really want those tires and don't want to do a body lift.
as i think of them as reallyy just worthless.
how uneven do you think it would be front to back.
would it be a huge difference of it would it be pimp style.

i think the back would only be 2.5 to 3inches higher. not too crazy.

I think that would be pretty crazy. And good luck getting a 3" TT and having the truck still ride good.

You're going to need atleast 4" of lift and then trimming to fit 33x10.50 or 33x11.50 with stock BS.
 






There is no way to fit 33x12.50 on only a TT without hacking the crap out of your fenders. Your going to need at least 4" to 6" of lift to fit those.
 






2.5 to 3" higher in the rear is a lot. Mine is 1" higher in the rear and it feels like quite a bit to me.
 






Just get the BL, it will cost you less in the long run, 3" worth of TT is gonna put some serious stress in your CVs. You will be replacing them "often" relative to just a 1.5"TT. Just get the 3" BL and some 4 door leafs and an AAL and you will have to trim a little but they will fit.
