One other option that you could look into are the OME 900 coils, as far as I know they are the exact same as the 901's but a medium duty vs a heavy duty, which means the 900's won't be as stiff.

I have the 901's, and don't carry any extra weight and the ride is a little stiffer than I would like, but fill the back with camping gear or tow a trailer...back end hardly even drops down.

with the 901's I did have a REALLY noticeable rake, I got close to 3.5" of lift (from sag) in the back, I then added the bj spacers (1 5/8" actual size) and backed off the t-bars to level

i hear ya on that

whaja end up doing?

i have the ome 901hd's, and they're fine for me, but i'm always carrying ~100 lbs (62.5 kg for your canuck style!) plus--on my latest move with ~2000 lbs (you know the math) in the trailer, they sagged less than an inch

if you don't mind the slightly-higher-rear-than-front, just get the coils. my 32"s rubbed like a mofo on the smallest bumps/cornering, so i was obligated to get bj spacers (didn't dig t-bar crankage).

the last pic within the first pic predates the bj spacers, but now it sits pretty sweet w/em in there (read: 2nd pic) and well worth the dough

I ordered the 901's, i normal have a nice size tool box thats gotta be at least 100 lbs,

You said your 32x11.5's rubbed bad without spacers? do u tink i could get away with the 33x10.5's if i bend the pinch welds and or take a lil outta the fender? im not too worried lol, it needs some body work this spring.

i don't have personal experience w/33s, but i know that TC fully advocates 33X10.5s

i did whammy in the fender seems and lower rear parts of the wheel wells and it helped a lot--who needs mud flaps?

There's your example of how the extra inch of width is more trublesome than the extra inch of diameter. I would never run 32x11.50 - no benefit to justify the fitment issues.
