Uncut fenders, or flared? I think we've talked about it recently, but I've already forgotten which way you're running!
With cut fenders you can fit 33's with no lift. With 4.5" of lift it sounds like you're trying to fit them under uncut stock fenders, is that correct?
If so, and you really want to use 8" wide wheels instead of the easier-to-fit 7's, make sure you have AT LEAST 4" of backspacing. In fact, because you're going with 12.50 wide tires, 4.5" would be a safer bet.
With 8" wheels and 3.75" backspacing a 10.50" wide tire sometimes rubs, and even with 4" backspacing they still almost rub the fender.
So you need a lot more because of the extra inch of tire you have on each side of the wheel.
If you're running cut fenders, then you're wide open in that case.
But then the 2" body lift becomes unnecessary if that's all you want it for. But nice if you want that much more space between the tires and body, or just like the billet look under there.
The 1" billet might be better, but I seem to remember thinking you just liked the look of the billet. In which case 2" shows up more than 1" does, above the cushions/insulators.
Did you decide on black or clear/aluminum?
You can still choose a 1" billet of course, but maybe it's just not as visible as the 2" perhaps? Just saying you likely don't need the full 2" if you could go either way.
