Is it possible to do a 2 inch lift , and major trimming to fit 33x12.50s? I traded a bunch of scrap metal for a set and can't afford a real lift yet.

You could do it. People have done 35's on stock height. It just required ALOT of trimming and ALOT of bumpstoping. Why 2" and not 3"? Im on 3" and 33's and i like it.

When I cut and folded my sisters fenders on her jeep, I tossed my spare 33x12.5 on it to see what it would look like... they fit but i would not take it off road like that lol. Oh by the way, her Jeep is stock height...







so yeah 2" can fit 33s lol
