Default Need a pic - 33s on 3"BDS

I am ordering tires tomorrow. I have a 4-door with a 3" BDS. Trying to decide if I want 33s or 35s. This is my daily driver and my wife will not want to climb up too high. I just don't want it to look bad if 33s are too small for this lift. It has the 4.10 gears in the axles.

If anyone has a pic of a 4-door with a 3" BDS and 33s, would you please post it here. I have searched and only found the following with is a 3" BDS and 35s.

Thanks.

Jeff

Just go for the 35's. I stopped in to one of the local shops to check some stuff out, etc... .and they had a 4 door rubi with the 3" BDS and 35" BFG ATs sitting there, along with a 2 door that was getting the same lift installed. The two door had the stock 32's on it. I know that the jump from 32's to 33's is a big one, especially when you are getting a more aggressive tire, but I really didn't think that the extra height of the 35's made it that much more difficult to get into. The stock tires didn't look exceptionally small with the lift, just a little bit... but that was on a two door. I think that the 33's on a 4 door would be just a bit smaller than you'll really want, but it will look okay. Just my thoughts.

Now, gearing with the 35s is a whole 'nother beast.

I'm going with 33s. Thanks.

I figure the V6 will do much better turning 33s and I'll have a little more room to tuck the tires that way.

I have 34inch 295 / 70 / 17 on a 2.5 inch lift. Runs great uses stock rims with spacers. In my opinion I wish I had about 3/4 inches more height to fill in the wheel well.

Try and find a tire around this size - 305/75 or 295/75. Those would look good but no re-gearing necessary for the 4.10 gears.

Will post pictures soon.
