First, a 3" body lift is generally not very safe, but it is a cheap way to gain tire clearance. You can clear 33's no problem and quite likely 35's

I'd sugest that you go to a shop that sells the tires AND has a ramp. have them put the bigger tires on, run it up the ramp and see if it rubs. Places like 4Wheel Parts will sometimes do stuff like this for you.

Just to clarify, you can fit 33's with a 1inch body lift, crank the torsion bars a little, 1.5 inch lift coils, and cutting the plastic in the wheel well slightly. Better than a 3 inch body lift.

This is the way to go, except ball joint spacers are better than cranking the torsion bars.

I got 33x12.5r15s on a 2in body lift and looks like it clears. Haven't drive It yet due to blown engine and getting ready for engine swap.

I just repainted my wheels today looks better, but not as good as yours! I still plan on installing bj spacers up front and spacers in the rear for another 1 inch or so.

Thanks. They're getting a little chip with slight surface rust. They look better in the pics. Thinking about powder coating them soon.

3" body lifts look terrible in person, and unless you need to clear 44s they are pointless. Run a 1" body lift and do a tummy tuck if you need clearance. Do it right.
