    I just bought a 3 inch lift from rough country, and I was wondering if I can put 33" with stock rims?? I don't want to buy rims because I think the stock ones look nice I just want bigger tires. If y'all have pics I will love to see them? Thanks TW

    Nah man i don't think it'll happen. The stock rims aren't the correct backspacing for 33s and the tires will rub the UCAs. If you want to keep the stock rims you'll have to put spacers on.

    Depends.. Do you want 285/70/17 or 255/80/17? Both are 33", one is skinny and one is wider. With the 285 you'll need wheel spacers but not the 255

    Yes they severely weaken the strut mount. Don't put a $200 lift on a $37k truck

    Do a real lift contact the people at @HeadStrong Off-Road they will take care of you. Never put Hockey pucks and wood blocks on your truck. Hook that bitch up.

    I'm normally the defender of spacer lifts :duel:but a 3" spacer lift is iffy. You'll also be rubbing the UCA like mentioned with the stock wheels. Your truck will be a rolling disaster and people will point and laugh. :gossip:

    Figure out your budget and go from there. Stuck with the proven companies. OME, Bilstein, Icon, Toytec. And I am sure there are more from that

    I have the Rough Country lift because I have limited amounts of money considering I'm in high school. I work my ass off just to pay for this thing lmao. Get something nicer if you can afford it.
