No, I'm sorry, I meant yes I think they'll fit without a lift. As long as it's 4wd.

Re: Will these tires fit.

The offset and width of the whels are the only problems I see. I'm sure you could put 33x12.50's on the stock wheels with no rub.

Re: Will these tires fit.

because your vehicle is an 02, it has leaf springs up front. I strongly advise running a leveling kit. a leveling kit for your truck will cost you no more than a couple hundred dollars and if you do not run a leveling kit you will have some slight rubbing.
