You have a 2000 with the smaller wheel openings. You are going to have to trim anyways, no matter the lift.



That is 33"s on a 3.5 inch lift. The rubbed mercilessly on even tiny inclines.

you could always go with 32" tires. either way i would think about going 10.5 wide. i have 4.5" RC and i only run 31's. i do it so i dont have to trim and i can get full turn with no rub. but there is room for larger.

If you go 4.5" get a set 32" tires on 4" backspaced wheels and bumpstop it corectly you shouldn't have any issues.
