I didn't realize I would actually be able to fit the 33's under the GW even with the 4 inch leafs I thought it would take up the whole well.. I wouldnt want to flex it to much just to be on the save side but i may go with this set up and buy some of those bush whackers from BJ's. Only got the front end in but i have to say the 4'' lift definetely changes the truck's attitude.....

Tried turning yet? I put some junkyard springs on my Wag that give something like 4-5" of lift. My skinny 9.5x33s on stock wheels (like on the rear of yours) scrape the springs on the front a full lock, and both the outer fenderwells and inner body tub in the rear at full stuff. There just ain't a lot of room under there once things start moving.

Well i tried clocking the steering both directions and there was no hitting. These springs are aleady pretty broken in from the cherk so I am not too concerned with them sagging any lower than they sit now. My only concern is flexing it but it should be good on the road. I am kinda stuck for about five days. I had to replace the bushing in the stock springs and no autoparts store had them in stock and had to order them from the manufacturer. So i am stuck until i can get the stockers into the cherk.

You need a BIG tire to use the Bushwackers as they stick out about 5" from the body. They will look silly with those tires.

Once you get the back tires on you will have to break out the :sawzall:
If you plan on driving it.
