33's shouldn't rub at all with lift, check this thread out

I could do the sup lift myself but the body lift is what I'm worried about.

I could get some family members to help. Would there be any for sure wires, hoses, etc that would need to be replaced or adjusted I should plan ahead for?

I think.....all you need is a fuel neck filler, basically just the rubber fill hose for the gas tank.

No problem. Also, I'd get gap guards, they fill the space between your bed and the frame, makes it look a lot better

Okay I'm looking into those and I know I'm dragging on here, but is there anyway to hide the gap between the rear bumper and the bed? I don't use the bumper for towing(I have a Reese hitch under)and if there is an easy way I would be interested. I just don't like seeing the gap there all to much.

There should be brackets of some sort or something along those lines to lift the bumper up i believe.
