If I had the money up front, I would buy it, swap my rebuilt 22r into that one, put the other into the other and sell the 87. Possibly do the rear axle swap from the ifs and spacers up front.
But no money and no garage to do it in not to mention time. hahha

33x12.50-on 15x8/4.75" backspace wheels needs 1" body lift, and front torsion bar lift (1"-2") or 1.5" ball joint spacer and some sort of rear suspension lift (such as longer spring shackles or a coil spring spacer) to level the truck, plus some fender trimming. Here is a picture of this combination showing the minor front fender trimming needed to fit the tires. Conventional wisdom suggests a full 4" IFS lift for this wheel/tire combination, but using a combination of milder lift components will produce the same end result that will function as well if not better than the taller all-in-one lift kit and at less cost. And in case you think this won't work, take a look at this very combination in action in 4x4Wire's Hot Toys write-up on Don West's '94 pickup.

I think the backspacing on the wheels is what's critical with this. that link I posted must not have sent you to the right thread? it was an FAQ thread sticky from on here.

the wabfab kit should be enough to fit them 33's. i dont know if theres any difference between pickups and runners but my truck with bj spacers and t-bar crank fit my bro's 33x12.50's. They would rub while flexing but not bad at all. runners might be different but idk. lol
