It will probably rub on the fenders when you flex, and if you are still using factory rims it will rub on the lower control arms as well.

one word....BUMPSTOPS, bumpstop accordingly and it shouldnt rub with proper trimming. Where are you getting a 2 1/2 inch spacer?

It'll work, know a few guys on here that have ran 33's stock so a think 2" and 32s with trimmed fenders will work great
