Keep the 33s if you are keeping the leveling kit. If you get a 4 or 6" lift then get 35s

Split the difference and go with a 34" tire if you can find one.

If you like the stuffed look get a 35 on your stockers. If you want a little more room and a some wheels that poke out a little, better stick with 33's

You won't have to trim if you mount 35x12.50's on your OEM wheels. They will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock however. Personally, I'd go with 33's if you are gonna stay with just a leveling kit.

I personally like 33" I think 35" is trying too hard, but different strokes....

I run 35s with some rubbing at full lock. (trying to fix that with new wheels) I think it looks awesome but thats just me.

I know different years means different fitments, but I'm running 35's with just a level. go big or go home!

Bigger is better go with the 35"s you will most likely regret the 33"s.
