Well from what I've seen they're only running 33's with a 3" BL. Where'd u get the 2"? I haven't seen anything but a 3" for a 4x4. I'd imagine that they'd rub pretty bad since some still rub with the 3". Good Luck

They'll rub on frame, and you might wanna shave a little off the bumper. Its all plastic, and if you do it right no one will be the wiser. I'd just go with 32's. Even though all tires have different nominal dimensions, youd be surprised that some 32's actually run larger than some 33's. Thinking technically though, youd only be losing 1/2" of ground clearance and 1" of width. Believe me there's no place youd get stuck in 32's that 33's will go through without a lot of scraping. Plus theyll fit a lot better. I have 33" mickey thompsons now, I'm probably gonna go with 32's for my next tire.
How deep can that pond possibly be?

Is there any way u can run 33's with the 3" BL and not have to do any trimming or have any rubbing on the frame? I'm not lookin to get 33's now since I just bought my 32's but I have a BL comming in and I am wondering for future reference. Thanks

you could prolly do it by getting offset rims or rims with a small backspacing to push the tires outward.

When you start reducing the backspacing, you run into the likely hood of the front tires rubbing the fenders at the rear edge of the wheel wells because the tires require more space to pivot in the wheel well.
I explain the principal on this page.

You can def fit the 32's with a 2" bl lift? I just wanna make sure before I do it. The 2" bl you can buy at Advanced Auto. Then just crank up on the torsion bars in the front, at least that's what I was plannin to do.
