how far up are you guys twisting that bolt on your t-bars? all the way up until tight? or just until the bolt head is flush with the t-bar frame box? i read that some people are running 33's stock with t-bars maxed out. i just dont see how this is possible, unless my t-bars arent cranked all the way

U will notice one down more than the other. That is due to the "ranger lean" so to get it right u need to crank one meassure crank the other and meassure.

The 12.50's will rub pretty good when flexed. A 33x10.50 will fit fine though.

I haven't been on any trails or anything but I've been flexed out and turning both ways in forward and reverse and haven't gotten any rubbing.

I'll get some Pics tomorrow of where my 33x12.50's rub and thats with a BL. If they Don't rub with only a t-bar crank, then it's not being wheeled hard enough.

Im running 33x12.50R15 mud terrains and i don't rub at all. I've only rubbed when one of my rear tires was off of the ground and the other was tucked in the fender and thats because it was stuffed. It all depends really on the backspacing of your wheels. mine are 3.313" of backspacing so i have no issues. the lower the backspacing number the more the wheel/tire will stick out.

I am body lifted though but my t-bars are cranked all the way. Someone i know used to run 33x12.5R15 BFG All Terrains on stock wheels with just a torsion bar crank and rear drop shackles so it is possible
