Stock suspension, 33-34" Swampers...what needs to be cut or trimmed?

[cabledawg]

I've got 33x12.5R15's on wagon wheel steelies that are 15x8. Only thing I've had to trim was the back of the front wheel wells. I've never had the front tires at full stuff though since the Burb is long enough to flex the frame before the suspension bottoms out. I've had these on here for 3 years and havent noticed any wear marks on the tires or the inside of the fenders/suspension parts. I've got 3.73 gears and these tires dont seem to kill any mileage, if anything it helped since my SM465 doesnt have OD. Maintaining 55mph, I got 20+ mpg average driving from Wichita to Minot earlier this year.

what about front and rear AAL's, would they fix the sag and make the front pass match the driver height?....would that be too much lift for you?

you gonna get new stock height leafs from LMC?

AAL's are a bandaid if your springs are shot/sagged. I'm going to go with all new springs but doubt they will be from LMC. Haven't been terribly impressed with the prices and/or quality of a lot of their stuff.

I havent checked tire sizes lately but I ran a set of 255x85x16 several years back and it seams they was 33.+ inches by around 9.5-10" wide. These where on a bone stock 86 1/2 ton long bed and the wheels where actually stock 1972 16" six lug wheels (maybe those where only 6.5-7" wide??) but it never rubbed once.

Yep, should be a tallish 33" and about 10" wide. Ran a set on my Ranger a while back. Only trouble I ran into was in the soft stuff they dug down a lot. Sand killed it until I got them down around 10psi.
