 Subject: Fitting 33" tires
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2001 rc 4.7 4x4 with the 16 inch wheels. I want to mount the 33" (305/70r-16)MT Baja Claw radial on my wheels. Will they fit under my truck without a lift? Would they fit with the PA 3" lift? Should I just go with a 30-31" Super Swamper SSR?
To be honest, I don't do a lot of off-roading (simply because there aint many places to do it where I live) so keep that in mind when answering my questions. I'd rather not put a body lift on. I'am waiting for a sus. lift that's bigger then the 3" available.

Gavin,
Have you looked into tuff country suspension for your year? I don't know if they make the 5 1/2 for your truck yet or not but they make good lifts that are worth the money.
33's don't fit on a stock truck without some triming here and there. I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that if you're planning on a lift later anyway. I've heard of guys adjusting their torsion bars out and throwing in a 2" shackle block in the back but I don't like the idea of adjusting the torsion bars out that far so I don't recommend it. If you know what you're doing though you can do it your self for less that the cost of a body lift and go back to stock just before you get your big lift.
Swampers are loud but if I remember correctly the SSR's are actually an aggresive A/T tread pattern with a good hard compound so that may be a better way to go. They'll look awesome and since you don't wheel much they would be ideal.

You'll need either the 3" Rancho or 3" body lift. The 305's will still rub a little on the frame at full lock though.
The rancho can be cranked to about 4.5" over stock

Thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna go with the 31" Swamper SSR.
