I got a 3" rough country lift right now everything else is stock. just wondering if i could fit 33's without any issues. I don't want to trim or anything.

If you don't want to trim, no. If you don't trim you probably won't even be able to fit 31" tires.

I'm running 31's on a 3 1/2" lift without problems or any modification other then removing the flares. 33's might need trimming.

Here you go look at the fender trimming this guy does. Lots of other good info in there too.

31's will fit on a 3 in. lift,I thought 33's would,& they do,you just can't turn the steering wheel or the tires will be eaten by the fenders.I even trimmed the lower lip off the fenders before I had the 33's put on.

I spent 20 minutes beating on my fenders with a hammer just to get it home so I could cut my fenders some more to fit the tires.

For 33" tires YOU WILL NEED TO TRIM AND EXTEND YOUR BUMPSTOPS !

I am running skinny 33's (10.50's) on a 3.5" RE Lift
