33s will NOT fit under a stock '89, period.
On a '93up they will fit IF they are narrow 33s (33x10.50R15), but not on earlier trucks.

Only if you want someone to tell you what obviously isn't stock on it (or that the tires are infact NOT 33s).

Yeah! No F-ing way a 33" will fit under a bone stock BII or ranger. I have a 3" body lift and it fit 31's possibly could go 32's on my 84'. No way in hell is 33's gonna fit under a unlifted BII.

I would say 30x9.50R15's is the biggest you want to go, if you don't want any lift or anything. They will fill out well.

You need some good frame and suspension shots to really prove its not lifted. And it definitely looks like it is.

It has to be! I have a 3" BL and the completely bald 33 I tested barely clears the fender tips! Thats lifted the springs are for sure bigger than stock. maybe no drop brackets but its got bigger coils and stuff.

Yeah, that thing's not sitting at stock height for sure.

This is stock height for a BII (which does not have rear blocks):


No way 33s are fitting under that without some serious fender cutting.

What are cargo Coils? Bronco II's don't have stock blocks which means there is at least a lift there.
