Re:33" tires work under these trucks?
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>

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>

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 "brick". 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 "power rake" 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

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
