friggin A these things are big...
well, 3 of my 4 tires arrived today - the other one should be here tomorrow. Took a break from work and went home to check them out. THEY ARE FRIGGIN HUGE! All of a sudden I'm much more concerned about fitting/rubbing than I was a few hours ago. Here are some preliminary pics (click for bigger images)...
And a very rough comparison to my 32/11.5-15 Dueler ATs

Look awesome
So you'll rub, you'll look dang good doing it! Those puppies are beefy! Looking good Jackson! If worse comes to worse just trim back the back edge of the front fenders a tad like schaefer did to fit 35s. The rear won't be a problem I imagine at all.
I'd go with the 2" RB body lift to get the max width of the tire up out the wheel well more too. That extra inch will make a lot of difference in that regard IMO.

So those will fit w/o any more lift?
Are you going to put on a body lift or anythign...those things are huge!
Don't you just have OME all-around? What is the size of those new tires?

I need new upper a-arms and a body lift, plus some quality time with a big friggin hammer to eliminate all the rubbing.

I run 33x12.50x15 BFG/MT with about 2.5" of suspension lift and yeah, they rub like hell on sharp turns and full compression, but I only have to suffer until I get my 6" Trailmaster installed!!!

its not going to be that bad. i love how everyone is saying its going to be so bad and no one is running 33x1250s except Gene!
trim here, grind there, and youre good to go!
they wont be as tall when the vehicle's weight is sitting on them. also, a 33 MT always looks taller than a 33 AT, so add that into your equation.
mount em, fit em, wheel em.

oh, my vote is for nothing more than a 1.5" body lift...anymore and you might not like the gap in the front and in your sliders. my 1" body lift made a 1/2" gap FYI.

I want to get the ATS arms and get them mounted... then go down to my Dad's. He's got a bunch of land, and a spot where I can really flex out. It would be a good chance for me to play around and see exactly where and when I rub. This picture was taken at one of those spots...
