33x12.5x15 on my F250 Coils, stock single shocks. Fits fine even with weight of the plow on it.

I keep wondering why people need to trim their bumper. This is the closest my tires come to the truck

my 33x12.5x15 Baja Claws on my 2wd with F250 coils fit fine but rub the radius arms at anywhere near full lock

no way are those true 33's lol
Firestone site says they are 32.5, that's at 40psi, and no weight on it, you drop it down on 35psi, and put it under a truck(without the plow)and your barely pushing 31"s

Also my plow isn't on in either of those photos.


(Obviously) Plow on and up. I haven't checked PSI since I've gotten em on a month or so ago.

lol i'm not doubting they are labeled 33's but i went to the firestone siteand they said they were 32.5" tall that is with full psi and no load on them. almost all tires are over labeled some more than others.

just like i was going to get nitto mud grapplers in a 38" but found out they are 36" tall once you put the truck on them.

So what point are you making? That .5" is why I clear my bumper by so much? lol

the point i'm trying to make is your "mismarked" 33's might fit but if you got something like a interco or a pitbull tire in that size you wouldnt be able to turn.

wish i had a picture but my 37" military hummv tires 3/4 tread, are only 1.5" taller than my balled 35" groundhawgs
