pictures of 2"-3" with 33's please. Looking to put a 2.5" kit on and 33's

I have looked and looked and not hardly found any good pics of a 2.5"ish kit with 33's! most are 4" or 33"s with no lift etc.

so question is should I do:

tuff country 2"
skyjacker 2.5"
tuff country 3"

I perfer a 2.5" not that 1/2" is a big deal but too much fender gap brings the looks down to me sometimes but tuff country doesn't make a 2.5" so if I wanna stay with 2.5" I gotta go with skyjacker soft rides I just wonder how close they ride to ez rides.

Look at BDS 2.5" as well.

I have it on my truck along with 35's.....but for some reason, I can't get into my photobucket account at work. I'll try and post later.

Here is a low resolution one.

I seriously doubt you can even see a 1/2" difference on a lifted truck. Just go with a 3". You will be less likely to rub the tires.

Of your choices, definitely go with either the 2" Tuff Country or the 3" Tuff Country, hands down the best riding lift springs out there that I've used short of doing a B52 conversion.

I agree that top picture is perfect. Thats what I want to do with my 4x4. I tried 285/75/16 tires on some eagle baja-style 16x10 wheels (basically 33's) and they rubbed a bit on the bottom fender corners at full lock. I want to raise the truck just enough to fit this sized tire. I hoped I could do it with 1" zero rate springs front/rear but might have to look into a 2" kit.

There really isn't a lift out that will ride smooth, especially if your truck is a single cab,short bed like mine.
