Can you fit 33s with a leveling kit?
You need a minimum of a 2-inch suspension kit and a small front end leveling kit on the front end to accommodate the width of a 33” tire without scrubbing at full lock or full turn in reverse. If you’re running stock rims with 33” tires you can opt for a small wheel spacer to improve the clearance from the UCA.

How much lift do you need for a leveling kit?
Some 4x4s require slightly more lift than others to get a level stance. Most leveling kits provide 1-2.5 inches of lift. If you have a specific tire size and lift height in mind, then a leveling kit may not be for you. If this is the case, you may want to consider a full lift system.
What kind of Jack do you need for a leveling kit?
Use a hydraulic jack (jacks from spare tire kits won’t be sufficient) and jack stands to lift your front two wheels off the ground. Refer to your owner’s manual for the correct jacking points to safely lift the vehicle. Support with jack stands on the frame of the vehicle – do not rely on the jack to hold the weight of the vehicle while you work.
How to install a leveling kit-truckspring?

Why do you need a leveling system for a 4×4?
The most important reason is that there are just fewer parts needed to level the suspension compared to the parts required to lift a vehicle 3 or more inches. Complete lift kits and systems often require a horde of dropdown brackets and other components to allow the steering and drivetrain of a 4×4 to function correctly.
