Default 1.75 or 2.5 BB

Ok quick question....?? I only want to run 33" tires..and I do not want a huge fender gap...Do you think I should just get a 1.75 lift (I still want a little lift "look") or the 2.5 BB..I know the 2.5 spring lift is even higher so I will stay away from that...any thoughts or pics would help...Also If I did go 2.5 BB it would probably sink in time correct?

I put on the Daystar 1.75 spacers to go with my 33x12.50 KM2s. I really like the way it sits now. However, I'm about to put on about 200 pounds of bumper and winch in the front, so I'm going to have to replace the front spacer with a 2.5 Teraflex. I'm also going to put on the Teraflex front bump stops. Even right now, I have a little rubbing in the front at full flex that would be fixed with bump stops.

I run the 2.5 BB w/35's. This is the only flat shot I have but you can see the gap in the front tire, not too big.



Here's one with the stock 32's for comparison.

Run a RE 2" BB and running 33x12.50R17 and no issues with flexing and even get a few people think I run a 35" tire. I think the fender gap between the tires is just right for 33's.
