RE: trimming fenders
2 inch suspension lift, 2 inch body lift, and some trimming needed.

RE: trimming fenders
you may also need new wheels. most 33" tires are 12.5" wide which is too much for stock wheels. in THIS THREAD Hanr3 explained that the max tire width on stock rims is 11.5"
ORIGINAL: Hanr3
General rule of thumb is 4"-4.5". The tire can be a maximum of 4.5" wider then the rim. Your stock rim is 7", that puts your max tire width at 11.5", 12.5 are too wide for your rim. Another thing to do is check with the tire manufacture, they have recommended rim dimensions for every tire they make. Most have that info posted on-line at their website.

Just my opinion; I think I would want to use a little wider then stock rim with 12.5's

RE: trimming fenders
One thing to remember when lifting a 2wd it isa big recomendation to use lift spindles to maintain front end geometry so your other suspension parts to wear out faster, another thing is when using a lift spindle is to use tubularupper control arms they help big time with your camber, note to rob must find tubular upper control arms for yours lol!!
