ford ranger 1996 33 inch tire fit ?

hi everybody, im planing to buy a ford ranger 96 xlt 4x4 3.0 l manual and i wan to put some 33 inch deep mud tire on it.After several day of searching on forum and reading of the tech library...I want to install the daystar 2 inch coil space,put skyjacker coil 2 inch, shackle bracket for the back 2 inch lift + 2 inch block tahn a body lift 3 inch,,,,,would the 33 inch tire would fit properly of do i need to do a fender triming ?

That's like 7" of lift. I've got 32x11.5 on my 99 with a simple T-bar twist up front and explorer springs + lift shackles in back. That's about 3 inches on both ends from a sagging stock suspension.

Won't turn very tight. Probably clip the radius arms. Aftermarket -skyjacker or duff- IIRC are both made to clear bigger tires like that.

Unless you're really trying to just do it on the cheap, go for a name brand 4 or 6" kit.

You could piece an excellent 4" kit together (for some $$) and make it flex real good or just go basic. Either way if it flexes well, you will probably need an inch or so of body lift to make sure your rubber doesn't meet body.

Example, a Rough Country kit (POS, but good lift per dollar), is for 32x12.5. It'll clear 33, but you won't turn very tight is all. And it doesn't flex for its weight in scrap, so rubbing shouldn't be an issue.

if you're going to put spacers and 2" coils, you're gonna need drop down brackets.
