Moderator, I agree with you on the modification to a point.

Body lift is beneficial, inexpensive and very easy to do. With 2" of body lift ANY Gen1 or Gen2 will clear 33's. Donor shackles, bumper trimming and and cranked t'bars will, IIRC clear 35"s with offset wheels. IF you can do the work yourself this project costs almost NOTHING. Pieces-parts and the body lift MIGHT be $250. About $1000 will get 4 33's mounted on the offsets you're gonna require (don't need em with BOTH body and crank/shackle) or just a set of wider rims for the 12.5" wide tires.
