Hey Red, a couple of questions...how do these tires hold up on the pavement and, are they loud? For the 33's, is a lift required? The Trsux tires are designed for combination offroading and street. I haven't had the chance to offroad with them yet so I can't comment on that aspect. As for street, they are extremely quiet. I had Goodyear MTX's on before and they were much louder than the Superswampers. I've been told that the Superswamper Trsux's wear fast but I doubt the source. I'm pretty sure they had the tires on a F350 or the likes which obviously weighs a hell of a lot more than my Jeep. As for tire size, you can put up to 35's on a Jeep with no lift but you should plan on tire rub with tires that big. If you want to run anything over a 31" you should look into a lift IMO. If you go with a lift less than 3" you can keep it cheap. Whatever you do AVOID BODY LIFTS. Only do suspension lifts.

True to an extent, rock crawling is all about center of gravity as low as possible with the tires you want, with the 35's there was 3 inches of suspension and 2 body with a lil' Mr. Sawsall and now with 39, same life, tube fenders and more Mr. Sawsall, just be very careful with body lifts

Modify your post UF04 and you'll be able to see the code for images.
That's a nice looking Jeep too bud.

IMO a body lift should be the last thing you install.

I had a Cherokee Sport w/ 31 x 10.5 inch tires, no lift and a Thule roofrack.
Not much into off roading but it was a great car for college and med school. Drove it across country 3 times and did a bunch of mountain biking and had a lot of fun in the snow drifts of upstate new york early on in college.
Since it didn't have a lift, if I had more than one of my bigger buds in the backseat, the tires would rub on the fenders
but the fuckin' transmission crapped out at 100K, I broke a strut going around a corner in med school, so while it was a great, fun macho truck/car I haven't considered one since b/c of the mechanical issues I had.
