Correct again, 33s are small, and my 4wd Supercrew is UN-LEVELED! Next up is some 34s at minimal after a 2.5" level & 3" rear block.

Any one have a set of 38's wanna trade for 44's?
anyways, will the truck be doing much off roading? if not i personally think a 4 inch lift with some 35's would fit a look pretty good. i would get the 6 if you offroad though. the wheel wells on everything 04 and up are pretty big compared to the OBS. when i tuck my 35's they are stuffed and im on a 6 inch lift

Only time I off road is when i go to the river or my buddies call me to pul em out. But I don wanna stuff I dont like the look. Im pretty set on 33's just not sure the height yet but im leaning more towards a 4 in for a couple of reason.

IMHO, having an 07 4x4, anything over a leveling kit and you should put 35's on it. 33's will just look too small, and after you get them, you will want 35's by the time you get new ones.

The price of tires is rediculous tho that's why Im leaning towards the 33"s and I won't lose as much power with 33 vs 35. What ima do is get the afe cold air intake, mbrp exhaust and 33"s with the truck stock height then if I want the 35 ill step up to those with a lift and a tuner.

sounds like a plan. lifts aint cheap either. i think the right 33s under a 4inch lift would look good.

heres 33's with a 6" lift. so i dont think a 4" lift would be much better looking.

My 44's were not stuffed at all. If they were i would not have used them. JK they were stuffed. But it looks nice the stuffed look. Better than having empty space in there.

First:

With your 6'' the top of the 33's will be just below the body so you will have empty wheel wells with no tire sticking in them. That is what your looking for. If you dont like it dont lift it. That only applies to lifted trucks. Im not saying you cant have tire in the wheel well but its not the right way to do it.

You could even do with stock tires with your 6'' lift. They may need to be wider tho. But same height as stock would do also. But you could always run the stock tires untill you get wider ones if you want. Or just keep the stock ones on there either way itll look good.

A side note i am not a fan of stuffing and i am a tool. So my opinion is just my preference.
Then:

But back to the point. Dont listen to the hypocrite.


Dont do a 6 with 33's, 4 is ok maybe, but get some tires that dont look like street tires. BFG at/ko's might be ok. but at the least, get a 305 on the width (12 inches). im not a backspacing guru so i cant help there. maybe someone will chime in.

Why are you wanting a bolt-on exhaust kit? Going to an exhaust shop and getting a custom exhaust ran will not only be cheaper, but you can get exactly what you want as far as bends and exits of the pipe and you can get a much better sounding muffler.
