    I haven't lifted the truck and the 33's (285/75/16) fit. I bought new rims from Method that have a zero offset. I also did the body mount chop mod. Not sure if I needed to do that for just driving around town, but probably needed for off-road use. Used a heat gun to reform the wheel well liner to avoid rubbing. Had to grind a little plastic. The tire shop mounted Druatracs on the new wheels, but didn't want to install them on the truck. They said "There is no way they will fit." I asked them if they could just test fit one and if it didn't fit I'd put them on myself at home. They fit. :muscleflexing:

    Will probably do the pinch weld mod and will eventually lift the tuck, but not until I see how the truck rides with the weight of steel bumpers, winch, and camper shell. This is going to have to happen soon, because I'm fairly certain the rubbing will be extreme if I go off road as it is. Haven't tested that. I had to cut the tail pipe out of the way to fit the full size spare tire and I had to sledge some metal tabs out of the way that the original spare fit inside of. If you look where your spare is you'll know what tabs I'm talking about. Weekends worth of work.
    :cheers:
