33" on a 4 Banger?
Hey guys. New to the forum. I've had my '98 for a few years and have been talkin about liftin her since before I had it(it was my dads truck). Finally fell into some money and it's in the works. So what do you guys think about throwin 33x12.5x15 on my 2.5L. I've already got the body lift and I've got those Belltech 6400's on the way. I'll crank the T bars cuz I've seen that helps too. What's your input?

guys, he's got a 4 banger (4cyl) not 4L
33's on a 4cyl is a bad idea if you want to get moving at any speed close to hiway, but with the right gearing, you can spin them in the mud... i wouldn't want to go much bigger than 33's with that motor
your 2.5L has 119hp and about 150 torque, so 33's are going to be big, but should be ok with MINIMUM 4.10's (you can pick 4.10's up at any junk yard)

if you have a 98, you dont have coils you have torsion bars, this is the first year they did this( someone correct me if im wrong but who thought a 98 had coils)

You can pick up some coils from Springtech on Ebay for cheap. Or get some spacers in the front.
Here's is 5.5" of lift with 32's on our generation trucks:
I'd get at least 4.10's for the rear. I had 3.73's with my 32's and it would not hold O/D on the highway for long, and that's with a 3.0. Now I have some 4.56's and couldn't be happier.

4x4 =Torsion bars
Edge,Sport 2wd=Torsion bars
2wd xl,xlt,stx = coilsprings
