IMO that is too much lift for those tires.

Here is my old FX4 Level II with a 3" BL and 33x12.5

wow that has to look kinda goofy. you almost need to run a 35 in order for it to look proportional. any reason why youre only going with 33s?

So sell them or trade them for 35's. I'm sure theres someone out there who would trade or buy them for enough to buy another set of used 35's.

If you plan on upgrading to 35's down the road then I say go for it.

get the superlift, take off the BL for now and keep the 33's. then when you need new tires anyways throw the BL back on and get 35's. otherwise i say sell the 33's and get 35's now.

Here.....I said it and nobody decided to search...


so...


Here's K.blakeley's truck(4" superlift, 3" bodylift, and 33x12.50s on 15x10's)...









Thus would be before lowering the truck some...





This pic would be after he took the AAL out and decranked the bars...


IMO....it doesn't look bad. Screw the haters who think double lifted, 35's are required. They are not. If you're stuck with 3.73's, you really dont want to do 35's unless you are planning at least 4.10 swap or shoot...4.88's are perfect for 35's. Gear swap would run upwards of $1200 if you dont know anybody.

Last pic looks the best IMO. Overall even with the t-bars cranked and the aal it didn't look half bad. With the 33's gives you more room to tuck the tires up.

im sorry but i see absolutely no better way to waste your money than to double lift a truck on 33's, one or the other or both with 35's

i dont think it looks that bad, i can understand you dont want to right now seeing as the tires are brand new. i had a BL on stock 235's for a good year, looked kinda stupid but im not made of money, so i just did it bit by bit
