    429ABF54-69C7-48AA-9860-EF1FD471193C.jpg After totaling my 2017 2WD sport, my insurance paid out $35k and I found a really good deal on a 2017 cement Pro…Bought it for $37k :D

    I was looking everywhere for an off road but this was the best deal I ended up with and I couldn’t wait to find something else. Now The decision comes… I really want to keep the fox suspension and move up to 33’s but along with that I also want to lift for a more aggressive look and keep the off road pro capabilities. After researching quite a bit it looks like my options are something like the westcott design or revtek spacer lifts (I know this isn’t the most ideal option but could satisfy my desire for a better look while *maybe* not hurting the off road capabilities)

    do you guys have any other ideas for me besides a full suspension upgrade? And before anyone says 33’s will Rub, I don’t mind cutting. :transformer:

    You're in Florida so you don't really need bigger tires

    Are you doing the lift under the impression that you need it for bigger tires? If so, that’s totally false, you can’t fit any “more” tire with a lift then you can with stock setup.
    But if you do want the lift for other reasons, then the spring upgrade offered by Eibach for the front is your best option. For rear will depend on when you are after in terms of ride / load, but any of the usual will work. (Block of leaf upgrade). On thing to note on the rear is shock length,

    I was fitting 285/75/16 on my stock pro with nearly no issues. Ended up doing a CMC but ultimately wanted 35s so just went full LT with wide body

    75k miles. I got it because it had an accident reported. The back right plastic portion of the fender was replaced from a very minor fender bender. Feel very lucky to find this considering I’m planning on keeping for the long haul :)

    My bad,

    I fit this on a stock PRO setup so ~1-1.5"
    I believe it was a mastercraft, on TRD pro 16" rims.

    CMC is cab mount chop it allows for more space in the wheelwell, I actually didnt need to really chop it to fit the above specs. Only to fit larger.

    What he said.

    CMC refers to a Cab Mount Chop which is required for near any setup running 33s.

    So are you saying I don't need to do CMC to fit mastercraft 285/75/16 on trd wheels? Just need 1-1.5 wheel spacers?

    By the way your truck looks sick!

    I have 285/75/16s on my stock pro with stock rims. Full stuff and they still dont rub. Just make sure to get a good alignment. Plenty of pro owners running 285s on stock set up. Coupld threads on here about it. Congrats on the new truck, enjoy it!

    I just upgraded my pro suspension recently but I was running the Revtek 427ap lift on mine for over 2 years and it rode great (on and off road). I'd recommend going with the new Eibach coils or the Wescott lift if you're wanting to keep the stock Fox setup. I will say though, at 75k miles if your stock Fox suspension hasn't been rebuilt it would most likely need to.

    I was able to run the Revtek lift and 33" KM3s without a cmc or any cutting. Mainly depends on your wheel offset.

    I ran 285/75R16s on my stock pro for over a year with no issues other than mud flap interference. Currently I have the Westcott Designs kit with 285's and the stock Fox suspension and it's great, although it does leave me wondering about 35s in the future.

    For what it’s worth, 255/75r17 fits without a lift. It’s a skinny 33.
