Message: If you can squeeze 33’s under a stock 4X4 then cant you fit bigger tires under a 4x4 with the 5.5 inch Tuff Country lift? You would think you could get at least a set of 35’s on there!Don't you think?
Message: It's to my knowledge that you can't squeeze 33's under a Dak that isn't lifted. Follow this URL to dakota2.4mg.com and you'll see what this guy had to do to his fender flares in order to fit his 33" Thornbirds on his Dak with a 3" body lift. However I have definately seen 35" tires on a Dak with a 5.5" Tuff Country lift. Anyway, good luck!
Message: You can fit 33's depending on the actual tire you use and your truck too. Not all trucks ride at exactly the same height, some guys fit them (barely) and others can't. I did with a bit of trimming.
