its a 1500 '11 4x4 silverado and im looking to get the 5100 bilstein adjuststables that will add 1.75" to the front end according their site. i was wondering if that 1.75" is enough to add 33" tires?

Depends on how wide the tires are, and what size rims do you plan to put under there?

well i plan on using the stock rim which is 17"x7.5" 6 lug im not sure wat the offset is for them. i was hoping to get 33" on those rims but wasnt sure how wide of a tire i could go with the width of that rim too.

okay, now can i fit the 285/70/17 underneath where the spear is? i know won't be a problem, but i never know when i need to put it in 4x4 and i dont want it locking up on due to different tire size.
