Default 04 or 05 tires

im looking at getting either an 04 or 05 and i was wanting to put some 33s on it. i was wondering if would have to get a lift to fit them on without rubbing at all.

Is your truck a 2wd or 4wd? I have an 04 2wd with 33's the exact size is 325/60-18 so they are really wide too. They rub when I turn my tire's to full lock to the right. The tire's rub my stabilizer bar. My truck doesn't have a leveling kit on the front just 2" drop shackel's on the rear. Also what type of tire are you wanting to use an M/T or A/T? I have Toyo Open Country A/T's so that help's minimize rubbing issue's. Feel free to ask anymore question's.

I dont know if you have to or not but I just put an auto spring leveling kit on mine and when my wheels come in a few weeks they will be wrapped with 295/70/17 nitto terra grapplers.....(33's)

Its so cheap to level the truck I dont see why someone wouldnt do it...alot of bang for your buck.

You can get a painted autospring kit on ebay for 68 bucks shipped or the one like I got the 2.5" powdercoated version for 78 bucks shipped. the alignment after the install was 69.99 so for 150 bucks more youll have a level truck with 33's.

Cant beat the looks for the money.
