I have a 3.5 suspension lift and hoops and rear shock mounts that require a 2" body lift. I was originally planning on running 35s with this set up but lately Ive been thinking about running 33s instead. I think 33s would look too small with 5.5" of lift so Im considering going back to uncut fenders in the front and small flares in the back. Maybe glass and painting them to match the body. Anybody running this set up? I would love to see pics. But if not, does anybody know who makes the smallest rear flares? I would like them to match the front uncut fenders as close as possible. Thanks!

You could just get rid of the suspension lift
A 2" body lift and flares will clear 33's easy

You're right 5.5 lift will look goofy with 33's

The 3.5 SL is already payed for and sitting in my garage. And my shock mounting along with the trans and motor swap require a body lift so the amount of total lift is already decided. Just looking at options for making it all look good on 33s. I "think" uncut fenders and small flares in the back should look good.

Depending on your axle ratio 35s might be good

I ran 35's With 4.11 axles for a long time with no issues

Might be able to squeeze some skinny 35s in uncut rear fenders
That would look pretty cool

Seems like I've seen it done but don't remember where

Yea. 35s will fit with my planned lift and the WH Warflares already on the Bronco. I just don't want 35s. I want to run 33 X 10.50s instead. I already have 4.10 gears. I don't really like the look of an uncut rear but I don't really like how big mine are cut right now. Im looking for something in the middle. I think those Bronco Design rears will work out nicely.
