Default 33's and Lifts

33" tires what size lift? Is a 6" lift gonna look stupid with 33's or should I stick with a 4" lift. I currently have 2" leveling spacers and have a hard time justifying all that money for just another 2"

I would stick with the 4". 6" lift you would need bigger tires like 37"s or so

Right now with the 2" puck spacer I have approx. 7.25" clearance between the top of the tire and the fender. So does that mean a 4" lift kit would be 9.25" or do they end up different? Anyone with a 4" lift and 33's please take pics and measurements please Thanks

I know I'm the wrong gen here but I've got 33s with a 4" suspension and 3"body once my tires wear out I'm bumping up tire size but here if this helps any

Thanks for the photo! If I understand it right, you have a 7" total lift? And IMHO it looks awesome! That tells Me a 6" lift should be fine for mine and down the road I'll have the option for bigger tires if I want. Thanks!

Ya 7" I don't mind it its not horrible but once these tires are shot I'm going to 35s I could do bigger but I myself like a more spaced out look instead of stuffed

Well now I'm not sure again After a little photoshopping below ....

First ... what I have now.
Then ... what I estimate a 4" lift will be. (Looks good)
Then ... what I estimate a 6" lift will be. (Tires do look kind of small?)

So now I'm back to undecided again

I have a 06 with a 6' lift and 35"s and the 35"a look almost to small. So I'd think the 33"a would look way to small. My next tires will be 37"a
