Running 33'' tires on 2wd 3/4ton???

Hi,

Has anyone attempted to run a 33'' tire on a 2wd 3/4. I recently bought a 2inch lift spring kit, and would like to figure out the biggest tire I could run. Thanks for all the help.

2wd 3/4 ton will run 33s without any lift at all (assuming they arn't too wide)

with a 2 inch lift, you'll have no problems at all.

I ran a set of 33's on my stock 1/2 ton for a while. Granted they were about 60% tread left when I got them, but they cleared pretty good.

I have 33-12.5-16.5's on 16.5x9.75 rims and I don't have any problems. I have spacers in the coil springs to lift it up about 3" though.
