Default how much lift for 33's on a 98 4x4 yukon?

just like the title says. can i get away with a body lift and 2-3" kit? the 6" for the autotrack is hella expensive.

You should be able to get away w/ 33's and no lift. I run 33's on my truck w/ no lift what so ever. So, yeah, 2-3" body lift will fefinitely clear your tires.

Yeah, I ran 35's on my 95 Z-71 with a 2" body lift, add a leaf, and raising the torsion bars. No problem. On my 2000 Z-71 I have now, I run 35x12.50R17 Xterrains with a 3" body lift, and torsion bars raised to help level it out, still sets about 1/2-3/4 inches higher in the back. Also no problems. Your good to go.

Yeah. You should clear just fine. Or their way (body lift) is another economical way to go. GL
