2"lift for 32x11.50x15?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just bought this truck, it has new stock rear springs and used stock fronts, the tires are 33x12.50x15 and are kind of close at the fender heel. The tires are old and need replaced, so I'd like to go with 32 x 11.50 x15's. Can I get by with a 2"lift or should I go with 33's and a 4" lift? I don't want it to look strange. Sorry about the bad pictures.

Thanks, it's not bad for a Missouri truck, it has new fenders, doors and hood, the cab will be an EZ fix. Hopefully someone can post up a picture with 32's /2"lift on a square body, if not, then I'll probably order 33 x 10.50 x 15 and a 4" lift, but I always think there's too much room between the top of the tire and fender on this setup.

It looks nice with those 33's. I run 30x9.50 on my K10's. There is so much room around the tires I always swore 33's would fit perfectly. When I ran 33x12.50 on my K20 I seem to remember some rubbing and fender trimming. Yours must rub a little don't they?

They don't rub driving on level ground, but looks like the tires will get into the fender bottoms if you go off road or maybe turning into a steep driveway, I don't want that. My 1st choice would be 33 x 10.50, my 2nd is 32 x 11.50, but I'm not sure I can do this with a 2" lift or not. I'm going to grab a floor jack, raise it 2" and see what the clearance looks like.

A lift is fine for clearance. But many miss the need to lower bump stops as well if tires hit at full bump. If you want to check clearance, take all leafs out except main, add a spacer for removed leafs and cycle the suspension.
