Default 285/75/16 BFGs 1/2 inch away from rear leaf spring

ok so i went from 31s to 33s on my 01 Icon wheels and now my tires in the back are 1/2 inch away from the leafs

is this ok or will i need to run spacers?

also the flat stabilized leafs ( the flat leaf on closest to the axle ) tend to move when i go out wheeling ( moves out toward the tires ) and since the new tires are only 1/2 inch away from the springs is there anyway for me to keep the flat leaf not moving? i was thinking about LEAF CLAMPS but dont know if they will work with my PROCOMP 3 inch leaf packs that i have


thanks

I had less and it all went away when flexed.

How much clearance do you have to your inner fenders?
