33" /12.50 tires work under these trucks with no lift??what is everyone else running?

 

What year/ model is the truck?. Your sig does not say. I'm running 33x 12.5 on my 93 w250. I had to do an add-a-leaf to the front to bring it level. When the tires are new they will slightly rub the fender when the wheels are turned and the front end compresses. <br><br>Jay<br>

 

1990 3/4 ton 4x4....add a leaf to the front??i think these trucks need to add a leaf to the back...they seem to sag a bit in the rear...but will it fit a stock suspension or am i going to have to do some mods??what about 31&quot;??

 

Here is a picture of my truck with 33s. Stock rear (could handle 35s) and 1&quot; add-a-leaf lift to the front.

 

They fit on my truck with no problem.

 

FWIW - I've got 285/75/16's (33x11.5). With re-arched springs and an add a leaf in the front, they fit just fine. <br><br>Mike<br>

 

do you other guys have pics of your trucks somewhere??

 

My truck also needs a little boost in the rear. I believe an earlier post here expressed that in '92 Dodge heightened the blocks in the back about an inch. My truck also came with an add a leaf in the front (compliments of a previous owner), so a load really makes it look bad . . . I have my eye out for some of the late model blocks . . .

Nice trucks Jbolt and Old Smoky! Gotta git me a digital camera so I can post the &quot;brick&quot;. She's got 285/75/16s which required a little trimming of the fender moulding- maybe a little sheetmetal too. She's also got the &quot;power rake&quot; stance with butt in the air and front kinda low. <br>My pa-inlaw had a stock '92 with 33's that required more sheetmetal trimming and would still ocassionally rub.<br>I'd like to do the 21/2 Skyjackers on the front to level her off.<br>Just my .02, Chris

 

bigredbrick- What part of N. Cal are you from?<br><br>Jay

 

what about runnin something wider than a 75??

 

actually, the 285 refers to the width, the 75 means sidewall = 75% of tread width

 

ahh yes...i figured that out today as i went to 4 different stores for prices...as far as running the 33&quot; i know i can do that...but i want to talk with someone that is runnin a 285 or above....i want the tires to stick out from the fenders a bit....get away from the pizza cutter look....anyone??anyone?

 

Jbolt, I'm in Colfax, and yes I do have all my teeth!(local joke)<br><br>midwestdually, 305/70/16 may be a bit wider than 33/12.50's' but they're comparable. Have your favorite tar shop mount a couple up for a trial. Them wider hoops do look nice, but they aren't as good in the snow and might have a tiny affect on fuel mileage.<br>Just one of my many opinions!<br>Chris
