is that accurate? or could I get away with just doing wheels/tires to raise me up a bit?
also, how much of a lift can be expected just from tires?
Did you read what I said? The fact that 33's might fit with stock suspension (which they won't) is a completly seperate issue from the fact that if you don't adjust the suspension, they will do far more than just "rub."
So, to answer you're question, yes a lift is going to be required. And again, I recomend a suspension lift kit over body lift. It gives that instant "cool look" to see glossy new control rods etc. under a truck and they are a lot easier to deal with (i.e. change in the future).
Do as you want and let me know, these are merely my suggestions.
