how to run 33/12.50???

[chrisw2012]

so right now im looking at running 33/11.50 with a 3 in body lift and 1.5 tt. is there anyway you can go to a 33/12.50 I know you can run spacers or trimming but I really don't want to do either of those so is there any other way you can fit them without tremendous rubbing

forget about the spacers, you wont need them. is your truck 2wd or 4wd? you can run that size tire with a tt/shackle lift and some trimming of the wheel well. i know because im running it right now. if you are also doing a body lift, even better. here's a link:

good luck!

mine is 2wd and yeah I already have the body lift sitting here just waiting to be put on. and Im doing a 1.5 tt so how much would that rub if I just did that

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Since you're 2wd I would do a 2-3" TT to get the height to help clear the front tires. You might still need to trim lightly but I doubt it with a BL and 2-3" TT.

 

[chrisw2012]

will I need to buy anything for the tt sense going with 2-3 in. ? or should I just be able to turn em up? I have read somewhere before a lot of people have recommended not go over over I thought it said 2 in. I cant remember exactly right now or is that mainly for 4wd people don't recommend to go over 2? or am I just mistaken all together? and I will be getting after market shocks after I get the lift and tt but is there anything else that will help ride quality sense I will be looing a lil bit with the tt?

Put on the tires, trim where they rub. It is like a fat chick asking how to get in to skinny girl clothes, you gotta trim down to make it work, not just squeeze your ass in and button em'.

I would do the body lift and a smaller tt up front. It'll ride a lot better and have more travel than if you were to crank them to the moon. 2" will stiffin it up but 3" will be rough I think IMO.

Is there an important reason you want 12.5" wide versus 11.5"?

 

[chrisw2012]

the only reason I was thinking of 12.5 instead of 11.5 was because they would stick out a bit futher without spacers which I don't wana run

 

[OffTrac]

If you don't already have wheels, just get ones with 3.5" backspace and the 11.5" tires. They'll stick out some and they'll fit better. Not to mention less wear and tear and better mpg. You'll still probably want spacers on the rear though because even a 12.5" tucks in there.
