Default 33's on stock ride height

I got an 2005 chev 3500 stock ride height with 16's on it. Was wondering if I can get away with running 33's on it without a lift really want a set of nitto mud grapplers but the smallest ive seen them for on the internet is 33's. Thanks

You will probably need a leveling kit in the front to clear them.... or at least crank up the torsion bars. then you should have no problem

I believe they will rub if you have not adjusted the torsion bars. It shouldnt take much to get them to clear, just crank the torsion bars a little.

Just use the torsion bars to raise it up. It should give you enough room for 33s. I had an f-150 that I put 33s under and it was stock height and only had to adjust the bumper for them to not rub.

T bars will do it. It will ride slightly better with new leveling keys tho. Usually new keys are like 100 bucks
