Pic needed of 4" with 33s

Well, I got my 285/70/17 BFG ATs on today. I really want the 4" Rancho lift now. Can you please post some pics of SuperCrews with 285/70/17s and 4" Rancho.... HELP


Needs a lift still... by the way, the shine was accomplished by Maguires NXT.

Why only 33's? You can fit 35's with a spacer and in my opinion 4" with 33 will look tiny....

I drive about 4000 miles a month and I need some mpg. Plus 35s were almost $80 more EACH!!!

Someone has to have a 4" lift with 33s.......

Leave it the way it is. If you lift it and keep those tires, they're gonna look too small. Looks good the way it is.

Yes, those tires are 33's, but they're also over an inch wider than Kanter's. The aftermarket wheel's offset put the wheels out more than the stock ones. All of this contributes to the whole 'look' not just the diameter of the tires.

Correction. I searched through tpeterson's posts and found in two different threads where he says they are 34" BFG All terrains.

I have to agree do not put a lift on the truck, I like the look of it with out the lift and the 33's on it. I was considering buying these for my truck and after looking at it , I know thats the look I want.

Another vote for it would look hella-gay if you lifted with those puny tires. The rancho is hot /w 35s.

The end result would be a guy that lifted his truck but didn't have the money left over for wheels & tires...

I think the 4 inch lift would look fine with the 285 BFG's, if you mounted them on a set of 17x9 inch wheels. The wider wheel will make the tires look wider. I think they would look small if you left them mounted on the stock wheels with 4 inches of lift. Also, since you already have a leveling kit, the 4 inch Rancho is only gonna make the truck about 2 inches taller than it is now.

Why not go with a leveling spacer or the 3" Skyjacker kit

The tires were $219 each mounted and balance. Walmart was a little cheaper at $208 but the shop I get my tires at let me do 90 days same as cash.

I really love the ATs. They drive better than the stock tires and I really cant tell a difference in power. I do have the 3.73s, though.

I really want the Procomp 6" and 35s but that will have to wait till I have the truck a little longer. Then Ill have to do gears, too.

I guess your right... the Rancho 4" really wont make that much of a difference since I already have the Autospring leveling kit.

Oh ya, one more thing, the price difference between the 33s and 35s was about $300 MORE!!!
