33x12.5 rub?

Hey If I get a 2" Toytec lift could I run 33x12.5x15 without rubbing at all? What backspacing would I need? I'm either getting the toytec lift which is BJ Spacers and AAL, or Shackles in the rear.. Which should I do? Shackles or AAL? I'm getting Pro-Comp shocks also.. Just wanted to know if it would rub or not, If it rub's I'll do some pounding and a small BL..

yes they will rub. get the 3in with probably a 1in body lift and you'll be good. and get 3.5 to 3.75 in backspacing for that wide of a tire to clear the a-arms.

You'll find some lift and tire/wheel size information on the web page below:

If they're going to rub because of height, that is on the underside of the fenders during stuff, then it's not really going to matter how much suspension lift you add, without lowering the bumpstops, they'll still rub.
The body lift, though, will help.

My truck is a 1988 4wd std bed.I have a 1" RB body lift,BJ spacer,longer rear shackles,33 x 12.5 tires on MT Classic II 10"wide x 15" wheels.Everything clears no problem from the front maybe just a slight front valence adjustment but no rubbing issued around the front fenders.

When you turn hard, is that what you mean ?
If so, that's mostly a backspacing issue with the wheels, too much backspacing.
