The short answer - No, at least not very well.

31s fit without an issue, except that on the stock wheels, they look slightly ballooned / doughnutted, and may have slight rubbing.

33s maybe, if you're willing to tolerate a bit more severe rubbing on turns. Suggest that it will look like the truck is squatting on the tires.

Also, with the truck's age, the springs have probably lowered due to fatigue. I replaced my fronts with OEM style springs in '98 and got an inch of lift just getting back to stock height - making larger tires all the more difficult.

If the tires are available - why not just roll one up alongside to have a look?
