    Well it depends. Are you running headers like the long tube Hookers? 2 1/2" springs will still cause interference with the left front tire at full left turn with 33-12.5's and 3.25 backspacing. 31-10.5's work ok with same backspacing. I liked the Rancho's-stiff yes, but much much better ride than the HD stockers and the 4 leaf pack will increase your clearence if still running the stock spring under setup. You may also run into a bit of interference at the rear of the rear wheel wells under full compression with 33's. I am still scraping a bit there even with a 1" body lift. I have heard different things about the Black Diamond 3" springs, but I would be leaning that direction if I was going to keep the stock spring lengths.

    33X10.5 on the Flattie now. I run the Holbrook Springs @ 2.5 lift once settled (I think) and I have a 2" body lift on it.
