I have 265's now with plenty of room in the rear just need the front up about 2"-2.5". Can I get that or should I put a leveling kit in instead?
That much lift would take leveling kit, on a 2wd I got 1 1/4" if lift with cc824.

I definitely agree with this. You'll need blocks. Otherwise you will be disappointed in the amount of lift. I also got 1.25" but out of the 844s. Unless yours is really sagging that's what you should expect. I have 31s and I could probably fit 33s but I'm pretty sure it would rub

I think the 87-91 body style could accommodate 33's with just a level better than the 92-up. But I do think that regardless you would be rubbing the radius arms at full lock with stock wheels.

I have aftermarket wheels on the truck with more backspacing then stock. They are also 9" wide rims. I was just seeing if I could save a little by going with the moog springs an not doing a whole kit.

With 265/75/15 tires I have this much room at full lock. Hard to see but its about 2 3/4" almost.

You will be able to "fit" 33's with the springs, but they will rub when turning like nothing else. I have the 844S in mine and after further research I would have gone with just 844.

The tires on there now are a 30 1/2x 9 1/2 basically. You think a 33x12.50 would rub if I have almost 2 1/2" space behind the wheel at full lock?

If you have aftermarket wheels you have a much better chance of avoiding rubbing.
