Default 6 inch on 33 inch tires

Im interested on getting a 6 inch lift but keeping my stock rims with my 33 inch tires. Can you guys help me out and post up pics of your truck in you have that. I would like to see the way it looks before making $2000 decision. thanks

I agree with Hogan, I've got a 3 inch lift with 33's and that's almost perfect. With a 6 I would think you'd need to go bigger than 33 to make it look good.

My friend had an 8" front 6" rear lift on his Chevy 2500HD with 33" BFG A/T KOs until he could get his 37" KM2s they looked ridiculously small.

This is my old 05 with a 4.5" Superlift, 35" Toyo M/T, 18x9 Pro Comp wheels. To me 33's would look really small even with this small of a lift.

You're gonna need at least 35s with a 6". 33s are gonna look small and goofy on there. Guy down the road from me has that setup and it just looks funny to me. You could maybe pull off 33s with a 4" but even then you would prob be better off with 35s. Just my opinion.

Better question how many miles left on your tires?

I don't think it's too bad. What really drives me crazy is that the rear lift doesn't level out the truck.

The bigger issue you will have is finding a six inch lift where you can run stock wheels. Most require aftermarket wheels with 4.5 or so back spacing. Since 2wd, the 33s may not look too bad on a 6 inch lift.
