Yes you can, but if I may ask....WHY would you want to???

When you consider the cost to do it right, I mean to have it drive good enough for a DD is costly let alone the loss of fuel mileage. When you lift it that high the cost of tires and wheels alone will run from cheapies of around $1600 or so for 5 of them, a lift of some kind yada, yada.

Do a search as suggested it will give you many options and suggestions you can use.

BTW Welcome to the Forum!!

Yes you can run 33" tire.. The requirements to do so are the same for 2wd as it is for 4wd rigs. Only difference is that you do NOT, need to regear the front axle, just the rear.. and probably won't need a SYE.

Yes you can. But you will have to cut the hell out of all of the fenders or put a lift on it. But why would you want to do that on a 2 wheel drive. To me it just not worth the effort on a 2 wheel drive.
