Default Need opionions on lifts pls

Hey y'all. I have a 05 lariat 4x4 currently with a 2.5 in level on it. Nothing fancy just set perfectly level. I am wanting to put 33's but I'm worried they are going to look to big. What do y'all think about just a 3 in suspension lift. The most I want to go is 6" but I think the 3 would look good myself. Thanks in advance.

33's look perfect on a level kit. thats what we all usually run and some even squeeze in 35's depending on the tires u go with. if u wana get a 3" lift ur gona need 35's cuz 33'a will look a little small IMO. here mine with a level kit and 33's

Thanks. Do you think it would look better putting spacers or keep them under the fenders?

dont use spacers. i wouldnt recommend it. i've heard horror stories on spacers. some use it with no issues but i wouldnt use them. keep them under the fenders. i actually think mud tires on factory rims looks really badass. im gona go back to stock rims sometime soon

Go with 33s or bump up to a 6 inch kit with 35s. A 3 or 4 inch lift kit isn't worth it IMO.

I've got OEM 2011 Raptor wheels on a 315 series BFG (35"s) with a 2.5" level. Fits great, and not even close to rubbing.
