Ok I just want a simple consice answer to a simple question concerning tires sizes and lift on a 2001 ex sport. I have the AAL wariors and TT done I want to know if I can run 33's. Also what modifications do I need to do, ie. bumper bracket steering extension ect., if any to add a 1" BL. Lastly does any one know if the body mounts are the same (I know there would be fewer) between the 4 door Ex's and the Sports?

your gonna have to do some fender trimming. there are some guys with that set up running 33's Iplan on doing it myself

33's on just a tt and aal/warriors will result in having to trim a decent amount of fender. If you buy a bl kit they usually include all of the necessary parts. Also avoid the hocky puck bl becuase they arent ment to last the test of time like a real bl kit.

id say look for some 33s that are 10.50 instead of 12.50 or 11.50 that might help with the rubbing while turning. with a 1in BL try to get ahold of 99ex22 he did it and might be able to help ya out.

on my truck with tt, aal and shackles I was able to fit 275/75/17 (33s) with only trimming the bumper slightly and only rubbed at full lock, every truck is diffrent, some are only able to fit 32s

But yeah Id say you should prob do a 2 inch body lift, with 2 inch you dont have to mess with all the tricky stuff. Drop the poly blocks on there and youre good.
