I have one main objective! The only problem is that I have to do it in steps. I have a 91 EB and I want to put 33x12.5 tires on it. I know they won't fit stock. Is it posible to put a 2 inch body lift in the fit the 33x12.5 tires or do I need the lift too. I will get to the lift in a bit. Also how easy is on the gears to run 33's? I am going to put in 4:56 but don't have the money right now, can I run the tires with the stock gears? Now for the lift question! I like the 5.5 inch superlift as well as the dick cepek. Whick on is better and what are the advantages? Thanks for all the help!

hey, EB Bauer, the answer is no, you are not gonna clear 33 - 12.50 - 15's on a 2" body lift. Some guys, depending on how much of the travel they use are stuffing 31's at 2" . the superlift 5.5 seems to be the concensus favorite, i myself purchased superlift 5.5 components for my custom lift. it is very well built , but if that is the kit you but make sure you tell them you want the new extended axle pivot drop brackets. not the old problematic ones. the old design used to hit the differential, they have a btracket that doesn't but you have to make sure you aks for the good ones. anyway you could,depending on how long it will be before you can afford the lift, do the 2" body lift and then grab a set of used 31's from anyone easy to find cheap cause everyone is getting bigger, then when the money for the lift shows up grab a new set of 33's. or be a little patient and do it all at once. it's hard but sometimes it will save you money, didn't me cause i had an old set of 31's laying around to slap on after the 1" bodylift and, 1" coil spacers. good luck can't wait to see the finished product.
