Chuck, you're posts were instrumental in me realizing I didn't "need" a BL. I am going purchase 15in rims and run Dueller MT's. That will give me a decent footprint (which is why I wanted 33's) but won't suck power and make sure I am under the height to fit in a standard garage.

Also, after 4 seperate measurements today my X sits at 78" at the tallest point of the roof rack with just a PML.

Also, with gas the way it is right now I am sure I would be hurting with the 2"BL and 33's. The X is my daily driver and I'd like to keep it that way!
