2'' BB and 1'' BL
I have a 3'' BL on now with 33/12.50/15 but I want to replace it with a 2'' BB and 1'' BL. Can I still run 33's with this set up? Is this a good idea or not any suggestions?

I basically have that set up and it has plenty of clearance for the 33's.

Guy I wheel with runs that setup and doesn't have any issues.
Just make sure the bumpstops are right for it.

Bumpstop it correctly and you will not rub.

I have a RE BB and it's really 1.75" after it settled.

I think rocky mountain had a true 2.25" BB
