not enough to cause harm or damage. anything beyond about 3, 4 inches yes, does start making problems. but at that point you're not using keys to lift, you'd be using a full lift kit.

maxxman is correct. and remember, you do not want to crank the torsion keys in all the way.

33's will more than likely rub. 31's should fit fine
