I dont promise anything but in my opinion, onroad you could do it with a little rubbing. I have seen a guy run 31's on his 2wd dak stock. You can probably go to somewhere like discount and they will test fit 33's for you. If you are only onroad then if you can turn the wheel lock to lock with no problems, then I wouldnt worry about it. Let me know what you decide.

ive decided on the 3" doetsch sys. suspension. Its alot cheaper than the fabtech and i havent heard anything bad about it and i think that itll give me the space i need to run 33x12.5... but what size rim do u think would be better a 15x10 or a 15x8 i dont know like which one i should go with likei said this truck is all for looks

I would stick with 15x8's because you can run a lower psi without blowing the bead, and it makes the tire a little bit less wide so that you will not have as much rubbing. Just my 2 cents.

I used to have a 3" bodylift with the 2" coils. I put in 33x12.5's with 8" AE 589 wheels. They rubbed bad. I had to cut and cut and cut and it never stopped rubbing when in reverse. Also within one month of putting in the 2" coils my ball joints went out. I was told by a mechanic the 2" coil puts the stock ball joint at an angle beyond what it can handle. But, I have read that the ball joints go bad a lot so it may be a coincidence. But my truck had maybe 20000 miles when the upper ball joints. I now have the 3" fabtech which is currently also giving me a head ache. I will know tomorrow what the hell is wrong. After all of the money I have spent, I am not sure its worth it. My truck has only 25000 miles is seriously pissing me off right now.
