To fit 33's you need at least 6" of lift from what I have heard, 3" susp and 3" body or spacers. I have a 3" susp with 31x10.5's and I had to trim quite a bit. From what I have heard you won't be able to run 33's w/ your 2" coils and 3" body lift, and even if you do the 3"&3" you will still have to trim some.
I trimmed mine and 4wheelparts did some more trimming. It is hardly notceable to the average joe, but if your dad is looking for it then he will probably see it.

even with the 3+3 setup with 33's I still had to trim a good bit on the lower valance for the sharp turns.

i have a 3" body lift and 2 inch coil spacers-which actually comes out to 3" of lift. i was able to fit 33's with no trimming at all. but i am also running 33x10.5x15, do you think i didnt i have to trim because i am only running 10.5's and not 12's like everyone else?

12.5's looks so much better and I think it makes the truck more stable. When I put tires on I put the 10.5's and I didnt like the look or the stability of the truck. I couldn't believe how much 2 inches per tire made. If your going to do it, than do it right. Believe me, you'll be happy later.

Wouldn't want any other!
