I finally got to installing my 2wd Rough Country 6" lift at a GTG we had here in Naples.
Added Moto Metal 951 20x10 wrapped in Nitto Terra Grapplers 305/55/20's.
Yes, I love the 33's and they are not too small IMO especially with the 20x10 Moto's I retain almost all of the effective gear ratio with my 4.56 gears and the highway RPM's are more in favor of better MPG's over my previous 305/50's with a drop of less than 200 RPM's
A few good buddys and myself installed lift and while we were at it new lower ball joints and new brake pads all the way around all in about 5-6 hours. There were a few minor setbacks like the new bump stop bolts were not supplied but that's about it. O yea I also used 1.5" coil spacers and it is within 1/8" of being perfectly level.
Shocks suppied are RC hydro 8000's and I'm here to tell ya the ride is far better than stock. The new stance and ride, I Love it, stock rake sucks!
Here are a bunch of pics I know you so enjoy.
Thanks Ryan MPC for the deal on the lift.

reading through it, my first thought was "wow, 33s? Those are going to look puny" - but I'm wrong - they look great on there!

I'm torn on this look vs your SRTs though. Both look great!

Diff cover was just a little homemade paint project. The lift exposes that nicely :)

What makes you get away with 33's is the 20x10 wheels with -18 offset, that is a must if you go small, anything else is puney. Personally I didn't want to fill in the lifted gap with rubber and the other thing the effective gear ratio isn't being robbed and I can still fit it in the garage with about 1/2" to spare :birgits_tiredcoffee
