I have it on good authority that you can do 2"BB and 1-1.25" BL,trim flares,and run 33s all day without much trouble.This is what I am working towards myself.I can't afford 4" psycho lift with SYE and new driveshaft,etc.!Not trying to spend between $5-12,000 for all that,myself.I am taking small steps on a budget,and will slowly work my way up.Not hating on those of you with deep pockets full of $$$$$$,but mine definately are not.If you aren't doing any extreme wheeling,you should be able to get away with it.

Lots of guys run 33s with a 2" BB and a 1"BL . . . should be fine . . . just check your bumpstops or do some fender trimming if you rub a bit.This winter I won't be doing anything off road. Just snowwhat about a BB and 1"BL ?

If you NEVER go offroad,and only drive on asphalt,you MIGHT be able to get away with 33s on a 2"BB.Since you have aftermarket wheels,you have a chance.I am partial to my O.E.M. Canyon wheels,and only have an inch or so before my rear tires hit the upper coil spring cups.Not being a fan of wide tires anyway,I plan to run either a 33x9.50 or 10.50x15 tire-I want the height,not so much the width.That is why I don't want 32s,because I haven't been able to find them in narrow width so far.I don't like the idea of wheel spacers,and will never go rock-crawling.Most any terrain around here involves mud and such,and taller,narrower,more aggressive tread seems to work better.Just my 2 cents-take it as you like!

I've been running 2" and 33's for several months, and wheel it, it's ok. I trimmed the flares since they rubbed offroad, and I don't disconnect all the time. But it can be wheeled, and driven anywhere else, it's just that you've crippled the suspension somewhat. Like someone above mentioned, you can throw on an inch or inch and a half body lift and be perfect for 33's.... Then you're also already set up for the tummy tuck you'll be wanting somewhere down the line....

It can be done but there is no room for flex.

if you install 2" bumpstops front and rear (which i think comes with the Skyjacker BB) you'll be fine. adding a 1" BL will definitely help save your flares.I have soft 8s with 4 inch bs- can I get 33 inch duratracs on with a Skyjacker BB. According to Skyjacker the biggest is a 32 but they don't make duratracs in a 32

Ive got 33s on mine.
They barely rub to be honest, still getting flatty fenders though.

I had 33's with BL only. When I go mine it had 33x12.5 on AR Baja wheels, Bushwacker 6" flares and a 1.25 BL. I had no rubbing on the street or light trails. I ran that for 2 years. I recently go a 2" BDS lift. Plenty of people have run 33's with a 2" BB on the street.

did the budget boost come with 2" bumpstops front and rear? if yes, then go with the 33s. if no, then go with the 31s.

Go for the 33x12.5s, you'll be fine dude25172021k said:
installed a 2.25 budget lift from 4 Wheel Customs - TJ/LJ/Rubicon 2.25" Complete Budget Boost Kits and plan to put my 33 12.5 15 tires on tomorrow. Waiting for the procomp 7031 rims to come in. Tried to put the tires on my stock rims and they rubbed on the springs. I will let you know how it goes.
