I have found some money that I forgot I had and it is a quite sizable amount. I have enough to get the UCAs to finish my 3" SL lift, and I was also thinking some Schrock slders. I guess my question is do I get some 33" BFG MTs or spend the money on a Schrock bumper? I have 31" Cooper STs w/ a good bit of tread left, but I am worried that they will look little with the lift. If I go with the tires, I will prob get a lightbar and some light to go with my new loadwarrior. Also, if I go with the tires, I may just purchase the 2" BL in case the 33s rub too much. Opininons? Another option I have been considering is getting fiberglass front fenders instead of the BL.

Definitly go with the 33's, IMO. And you will need to do the 2" BL. Although some have ran 33's w/o a lift.

Why buy a lightbar?? It's alot cheaper to make one yourself. Here is a how-to for it..

No one is running 33's w/o a lift...that's 32's...not 33's.



And...as much as I like the 33's...I do wait to wear out what's on there...or sell them and use the money to defray the cost of the new rubber.

The tires are disposable, the bumper is durable...if you want the best ROI, go with the bumper, assuming you are eventually getting winch.



The 33's need room...and the shrock gives up-front room to flex the rubber/attack obstacles (Approach angle improvement)

33's will rub on compression w/o longer bumpstops (extensions) or a 2" BL...I like the 2" BL, as it preserves wheel travel.

I am running 33's now with a 3" SL + 2" BL...so I had almost no trimming to do.

My buddy with 32's and no lift had to remove the plastic parts, and hammer the metal ones.



The 31's will have mucho room to move in the meantime, when they are eventually replaced...you can get the 33's no problem.

Go with 33's you do not have to get a body lift, just trim some metal and plastics, they fit nice.
I have 33's with 15x8 rock crawlers 3.75 back spacing and the tire stuff fine in the back with some pounding in the well. The front will have to trim front plactics and cut sheet metal about 3" from your door, and on the line that is on your finder, it about 2.5 inches, all the pounding and cutting takes a good days work.

The best offroad vehicle has the biggest tires and the lowest center of gravity, with out thebody lift you will have that.
