    What lift is needed to fit 33' x 12.5 15R on a GQ Shorty without dramas

    Hi all,

    This is a question from my mate with a GQ shorty. He is getting a massive variance in opinions from suspension retailers regarding what he will need to do to fit said tyres to his GQ. Anything from a 2 inch suspension lift to a , 2 inch body & 2 inch suspension and some have even said he will need to chop the guards.....input please!

    2" should see him able to run 33s, might be close on front mudflaps
    but spacers will fix that
    No guard chopping or body lift required
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    As above mate, 2" is all is needed for 33's. Thats what I run and all good.

    X2 with Nisshead....... I took off the front mudflaps due to rubbing on full lock but radius arm spacers will fix that, I'm just to lazy to do it lol.

    What width 33s are you getting and what rims are they goin on?

    Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

    I've got the spacers on a 2" lift and my 33s have ruined the front guards haha

    It's funny how every vehicle is slightly different.

    Or are you just calling me a liar!?

    I run 33s with just a 2 inch lift does rub a bit on my front mudflaps but only slightly so it's not really enough for me to worry at the moment was even thinkin of holding the front mud flaps a bit further back with some jack chain to me side step..!
