33's are stuffed on a 4wd stock height ranger, so i'd imagine they are really stuffed on a 2wd. Add chains to that equation, and I can see the wheel wells getting pretty tore up.

I would recommend getting the beltech 6400 for the rear, it will still let the front sit higher and will give you clearance for the 33s with chains.
