is it a 4x4 or 4x2? They will for sure fit on a 4x4 if you crank your torsion bars an inch or 2. You may have to trim your front valance a little, no big deal. Not sure about a 4x2.

I hear ya. Crank your torsion bars to level the truck if you haven't done so and you'll clear 33s. Stay away from the aftermarket torsion keys. They are a big no no, and will cause your suspension components to wear out a lot quicker.

You should be happy with the results.

Not hijacking your thread. I was thinking of doing this also. Can you put a 33-12 size tire without alot of triming?

Yes, how much you have to trim depends on the wheel you use. Even with a 10 inch wide wheel, you won't have to trim the front bumper's valance mutch.
