Dude 33s are easy as hell to fit as long as youre 4x4. These pics are mine and Ranger_Interceptor's trucks, 35s and body lift. I now have a superlift.

Not major rubbing issues, just rubbing. You learn to not turn too sharply but otherwise u dont rub at all, even offroading (mostly). Oh and you trim the corners of the front bumper which looks good anyways.

But personally, stick with 33s. Not as big but ur truck will be a lil faster, its jus a lil nicer.
