You can trim your fenders or put a 6.5 inch lift on there.

Or, you can use a small lift AND trim your fenders.

Is your keyboard malfunctioning? lol

You can easily make 33s work with a 3inch lift and some trimmming. But unless you plan on getting 33x9.5's youll need rims with proper backspacing or spacers to fit a proper 33x12.50 and i dont suggest spacers. For the price of spacers you can have rims...

Pretty much.

I have 3-3.5 in the front and 3.5 to 4 in the rear. No I can't figure it out. LOL

33 10.5 tires stock back spacing. Slight trimming of the fenders. Discoed, and bumped. Ground arm stops for extra travel, custom leafs for more travel. 10in shocks front and rear.

Not all of that is needed. But just to show you you don't have to trim that much even with 33's and a lot of travel.
