Technically you could run 33's with NO lift. Depends how much you wanna cut

You could but you'll be cutting a lot bub. 31s would look better cut wise and match the lift better. How wide are you running?

I think a good place to start is why do you want 33 inch tires
rough commute to work? or building a toy/daily driver
I dont think youre gonna get the answer youre looking for unless you tell us your plans for your rig

Go 31s then less cut if eny cut. You'll get better gas milage bud. Looks good running stock gears it won't effect much on gas with 31s. You'll get the clerence you want and still have some flex.

x2 if youre on a tight budget. this is probably your best bet

but I joined this forum 2 months ago thinking I wanted a 3in lift on my toy too
I spent about a week flipping through different threads looking at pictures and asking various questions
and very quickly realized that I did not want to settle on 3 inches
I say do some research and find out what you really want
