getting 33/12.50s to fit

Hey y'all I got a set of 15x10 wheels on my 71 c10 and I'm wanting to put some 33x12.50 tires on it instead of the 295/50s I have on it now. I'd like to lift it a little in the front (about 2") and was thinking of coil spring spacers but I'm not sure if it would work. Any input and pictures would be great . Thanks yall

Belltech makes coil spring spacers.
Maybe a set of 3/4 ton front springs would raise the front enough.

Anyone else done this?

Re: getting 33/12.50s to fit

My truck has fabtech 3" lift coils a upper balljoint flip\spacer. The truck has 16x8 285 75 16's. when I have 1000lbs in the truck the pass side tire touches the front bottom of the fender on the slightest dips. I have gone 10,000 miles on moog upper ball joints and they are shot...mostly hwy miles. Lets just say its getting a 4x4 frame very soon. Found a NAPCO longhorn thats next winters project. If you really have your heart set on 33's factory heavy duty springs and as much as I hate 3" body lift is the only way to go.
