spindle lift... 32s?

I'm sure it's been covered, but I can't find it. I'm wondering how this combo would work... 3 inch lift spindles on a 2wd with 32s. I know several trucks are running 31s with this lift. I don't want to step up to the 5.5 lift but the only tire I find that I really like is 32. So who's running 32s or maybe even 33s with just a spindle lift on a coil sprung truck? Please post pics if you have them and let me know if you've had any rubbing issues and have had to trim anything. Big THANKS in advance to anybody who can help me out!

Trigger01 has spindles on an edge with 32's. You could fit 33's easy on spindle lift.

Oh wait yours is coil sprung, maybe 32's would be best not sure.

Trigger also has maxed t-bars, so he is about 2 inches higher than most spindle lifted trucks.

Rangerplus,

Unfourtanetly I dont have any pictures because the project has not been started yet. I am going to spindle lift, Body Lift and put shackles or aal in the rear. Once I am lifted I am going to put 33's on. You can run 33's with this lift but remember if you have the 3.0 you will want to re gear to something like 8.8 4.10's so the truck can run the tires easier. There are a few members on here with this combo I believe one member is called DallasGreen?

Hopefully more people respond with pictures or advice.

You might want to plan a regear since yours is a 4cyl

You have t-bars not coils though, so you are able to squeeze bigger tires.
