Default 1" BL and clearing a 33x12.5R17.......

Was wondering if anyone has any experience with this? Thinking about a 1" Body lift and running 33x12.5R17 on some AEV Pintlers 17x8.5 wheel that has 4.7" backspacing. Hoping there won't be any rubbing issues as well. I know a 33x10.5R17 will clear no problem. Wondering if anyone has anything similar and maybe some pics if I'm lucky??? Thinking about trying this or maybe just a RE 2" BB instead.

while i don't have any personal experience running this exact setup, i would think the 1" bl will do the trick and you will be fine with just it.

X2. Can also add some spacers if needed to.

I'm pretty sure you can run that setup without a body lift..but a spring lift or any BB or BL would certainly do the trick.

I am running 33x12.5x17 MT MTZ's with procomp rims and 4.75 BS. No issues at all. Am going to install a TF 2.5" BB Next week.
