Getting the Wheeling Fever
I would like to get some 33's for my 86sr5ext. I have the stock rims, 1.5" spacer in the front and 2.5 inch shackles in the rear. would they fit under the fenders?

It'll be close, if you run stock rims and 33x10.50 tires, it should work, likely will need to do the fender seam flatting and other minor trimming as needed. For 33x12.50s, may need some more work:

If I understand you correctly, a 1.5" tall spacer will give you almost 3" of lift (due to pivoting), and shackles that are 2.5" longer than stock will give you 1.25" of lift in the rear (once again as a result of pivoting), so 33's should fit easy in the front, but not so easy in the rear. Also, you need at least 7" rims for 12.50 wide tires.

I assume this is a ball joint spacer ('86/IFS) so lift should be 1:1, it just lowers the spindle 1.5", giving 1.5" of lift. Rear tire fitment is usually much easier, wheel well opening is plenty big for 33s and since they stay straight ahead, you don't have the steering issues like you do up front.
