It'd be like your signature, though.

Well when you had the ugly dating service up there.

For a 15.5" tire I would look for a wheel with 4.5" of bs, that way it will push the tire out and away from the UCA. With a 3" bodylift and a 2.5" AS you should be able to clear them without a problem. Heck you might, key word might, be able to clear them without the body lift if you can find the perfect set of wheels.

Yea I would think that you would be just fine. But then there is the fact that 33's will look small on a truck with 5.5" of lift.

The pic that LovetheTide posted shows that it can be done with just a leveling kit and a wheel with the right specs.

If I were you this is what I would do. Either do the BL, 35's and Mickey's. Or just stay with your AS, the 33X15.5's and look for some different wheels.

Its too bad that we don't know what the specs are on the wheels in the pic.
