Well, I walked in on this late as usual (why do you guys
talk about the cool stuff on the weekends??) and actually
wasn't going to touch this subject because I always get
yelled at, but since somebody is actually asked for my
opinion here it is.
My 33's do barely touch the frame in the front when the
steering wheel is fully turned. I say touch because I
wouldn't consider it rubbing because you can't feel it, I
can just see a "clean spot" on the frame. This doesn't
surprise me since I used the stock wheels and they did the
same when I had the factory 31's. Other than this, I have
lots of clearance and never come close to rubbing the
fenders yet. Keep in mind that I probably only lifted the
truck 4-4 1/2" in front and 4" in the rear since I did not
use the add-a-leaf and only cranked the T-bar up far enough
to make the front level.
Now, there is a guy with the Rancho lift here on the list
and he says that he clears 33 12.50 15's with no rubbing
and I believe him. Although, I have spoken to another guy
which also has the Rancho lift and he complained that he
did not have the clearance (they rubbed) to run his 33's.
In Rancho's defense I do not know what size (width) 33's he
was attempting to run or what offset wheel he was running.
