I havn't seen 33" fit on many stock vehicles... let alone an old Paj.

I have 33" MTR on my stock 80. It scrubs if I run over a 20c coin.

put them on , see where they rub , if it is only a little bit bash trim body to suit , or if it is a little bit more than you can trim/hammer , if it is leaf springs get some ext shackles (2" shackle gives 1" lift might need some castor wedges if it spins the diff to far) and wind up the torsions at the front to suit or if it is coil get some lwb coils and wind up the torsions at the front (in a 90mod swb its roughly 1.5-2inch lift).

I have a mate running 32" mongrels on an older model jackaroo which is very similar in size and shape. He did a 2" body lift and a 3" Calmini kit and he still wouldnt be able to fit my swampers. depends on the offset of the rims too.
