If you do decide to get a set of 1.5" spacers, you can run up to a 35" tire with trimming of the rear pinch and fenders.

For the amount of money and to delete any stress of trimming,
You would be better off getting the 1.75" Daystar Budget Lift.
And adding the 1.5" Wheel spacers,(don't go cheap on spacers.)
between the two adds, your choice of 33" to 35" wheels
will fit just fine.


Also,

Rebelyell22; You need to clean out Your PM folder. Delete those
PM's you don't need or put them in other saved folders. I tried to
PM you, but was unable to do so.
And without a listed e-mail account I'm left to post Your Birthday

Are you running any lift at all? I went about a full year on 3" of lift and 305/65/17s. There was very minimal rubbing on the swaybar (drivers side). Pretty sure you can go with a 285/75 on stock tires with no lift. My suggestion, speaking from experience, is... save up for what you really want. Shop around, find good price and good customer service. Then you will be really happy. I ran 33's for one wheeling season and couldn't bare not having 35"s. Just a thought.
