Default Lift Height With 33" Tires

i just got some 33" BFG A/T's and i want to lift my truck. its already leveled but i want to go higher. how high can i go without the 33's looking silly. and would you prefer a body lift or a suspension. thanks

IMO.Rancho 4inch lift will look good with you're 33's.But a 6 inch lift with 33's,i think will look to small and would defeat going as high as you can with a 6 inch lift say vs 35 inch tires.N go with a suspension lift.easier to install if your doing the work yourself.I have install body lifts,and there a pain in the ****.Let us know what you do.Now all this is just my opinion.

I myself got my leveling kit and my 35's on now.But in a month going with a 3 inch body lift cause i am getting it free.But going to tweak it abit and make it 4-5 inch body lift depending if i can get enuf time in the fab shop.

Rancho's 4" is supposed to end up around 5" of lift. You could get by with 33s for now, but it'd probably be better to sell or trade them for 35s.

I'm in agreement with skull, from personal experience I know how much of a PITA a body lift is. Suspension lifts also come with the added benefit of frame and chasis ground clearance. Plus, once you do it, you'll look at the guys with suspension lifts and wish you'd had spent the money to go that way.
