So i have 31x10.5x15 already on my truck. ill be getting a 3in BL and will be getting bigger tires. I plan to go to 33x10.5x15. My question is will i only have the usually rubbing issues on the radius arms and sway bar that i already barelly have since im not increasing width.
 
I never had any radius arm rubbing but the sway bar did barely rub at full lock with 31s. I removed it since it wasn't hooked up anyways. You will need to trim fenders for 33s.
 
i have a 3" BL and 33's... i trimmed maybe a couple three inches off the front of the fender, if that ( just blended it into the arc at the top since ford put square fender cutouts on our trucks) the rear parts of the fenders were already kinda bent in so i just hammered them back a little more but i still rub really bad on the drivers side. kinda depends on the offset of your wheels too cuz i don't think i really rub on my radius arms at all even at full lock but my wheels are spaced pretty good out away from the hub and i don't have a swaybar
 
well I have the stock rim and my fenders are already cut. The rear I think will fit and i wont have to trim them.
 
I put 10.5 x33 on mine[have worked great by the way] with 2" body and 2" lift.I had to trim fenders on the front and back of both front and rear axles.I have no rubbing on the sway bar or radius arm.It did rub on the inner fenders though.I drilled holes in the corners and zip tied them back worked great for a year and a half so far.
