Was wondering if i went to fiberglass fenders, 4" front 4.5" bedsides with a 3" BL. if i would clear 33x12.5 on 15x8.5 with no issues. Im kind of expecting some rub from suspension. please let me know what you think. i know i will be needing gears as well. thinking 4.56, but also want some input. Thanks!

I don't think you will have any problems.

Flare fenders generally have larger wheel openings, don't they?

I cleared 33x12.5's with only 2" of supension lift, and very minor fender pounding to the back of the front fender, and cutting a small part of the corner off of the bumper ( a chunck maybe as wide as your thumb), so a 3" and flares should have absolutaly no problems..

what are you going to be using the truck for? I highly advise against body lifts for any kind of prerunner.

Being you have a torsion bar truck, all you need is glass to clear the 33's, possibly even 35's. I have a set of McNeil fenders for the front of my truck and they pretty much open up the fender to the backside of the OEM plastic flare, so you won't have any rubbing issues there.

redylift says with a leveling kit you can run 33's with stock fenders

i dont plan on doing any "real" prerunning. i like the look off them more then anything. but for the most part i would say mudding and some trail riding. my bed was jacked up from a friend, lost control doing some mudding and smashed into my bed. only the outer lair was damaged. so im going to cut sides out and keep the bed. just want to clear some 33's with no issues.

Fiberglass with chevy shackles and a tbar crank should let you clear 33's easily and possibly 35's.
