    Yeah, I like Nitto. I ran BFG's since the early 90's. They sucked then, and the new ones suck almost as bad. Cant wait to get some Rige Grapplers. Just not sure if I want to run 33's or 34's

    Newp. Want to keep my 4.10 gears, and I feel they are best with 33's. I think 34's would tax it a bit, so I wont go over that size.

    Lol. My 3.73 runs great with my 35s... But to each his own.

    And I think you just answered your own question. Go 33 if that's what you're comfortable with. Haha

    Yeah, I don't think it would run "bad, I just prefer to be a little over geared. Most of my off roaring is in mountains, and i,like the mechanical leverage.

    Pffft

    You have a 4.1 transfer case. You could be on 40s and 1st is still almost unusable.

    I'm running 321s with 33s. And based on my 20 mpg. I'd love to upgrade to 35s at some point. But since mines a DD. 25 miles a day one way. Don't see that happening any time soon. So yes.....i love your set up Aletani. And jealous. Lollll. :annoyed:

    Honestly dude. Im scared to jump up to 35s. I like my 33s stance. And gas milage. If I upgrade to steel bumpers, front and rear. I may add a spacer to accommodate for the weight. But bottom line. I like, and I'm very happy with the 2inch 33s lift. I'm not going to disagree. I like....no......really like Aletina stance. 35s with a 2 1/2 lift.
    But at this point. No plans to add a bigger lift. Very happy where I'm at. A brick getting 20 plus mpg. I'm good......Thank you. Lol.

    lol, I told hubby why I didn't necessarily want all steel bumpers b/c of weight and mpg - he was like: well you didn't buy it for the MPG. *.* God love him, and so do I. lol. I plan on getting the matching front bumper to my rear I'll be ordering, so hopefully that'll offset the weight the bumper and tire carrier and full size tire on the back.

    Spacer. do tell.... helps with the added weight? something I need to get with the bumpers? lmk

    They are coil spacers you install to help keep your lift. The more weight you add, spare, hitch, steel bumpers etc. Your going to have sag. They help maintain your lift.

    Edit. When I did my lift, 2 inch coil spacers. I didn't reinstall the isolators in the rear. It helped level my jeep. With my addition of a full size spare, a Hi-Lift Jack, and a trailer hitch. My rear end was starting to drag. I went in and installed the isolators which are about 3/4 of an inch. And they did help get back some of my lift height. If I at some point replace my bumpers, front and rear. I plan on installing the above spacers.

    Sorry if I gave you more to think about Aletani. Lol.
