Talking What a Deal!!!

Alright. So on my job hunt today I came across a place called "4 Wheel Parts." I just went and and was browsing. I started talking to the sales guy and I told him that I wanted to replace the wheels and tires on my truck this coming summer. And..... Wow! What a deal am I gonna get. For $2,000 I can get 17inch XD's(I forgot the name of the rims but they will look perfect on my truck) and 33's, good year wranglers(or somethin like that)! If I wanna go up to 35's they made me a deal on a 5.5inch fabtech lift for $1500 plus going to 35's is only 300 more bucks for the tires! $3800 bucks for all that! I am definitely gonna work my *** off and get that!

What do you guys think? Should I go big(35's and the lift?) or just go 33's and what not?

Keep your truck the way it is, its absolutley perfect. If not, send your old wheels and tires to Indiana.

Keep 33's, there is no look better (except for the one you have now). Fabtech is bankrupt, so I wouldnt want to deal with them. And I have never heard anything good come out of 4 Wheel Parts.

I refuse to shop at 4 Wheel Parts. They are usually a huge rip, and most of the guys working there don't know what they are talking about.

I got an amazing deal from the same people. 4 chrome 20" pro comp rims for $400. Great company to work with. You're deal in no way sounds fantastic though.

As long as you've been on this site I'm surprised you haven't noticed people talking about the quality (or lack of) of Goodyear Wrangler tires.
Also, Olyelr said that his truck was a dog with 35" tires and his old gears, I can't remember if they were 4.10 or 3.92.

There are more lawsuits against 4 Wheel Parts than any other truck accessory related business (do a Google search).
I have bought things from them, because they will price match and their sheer size means a lot of items are only a day away from their shops. They are a big chain and tend to pay their service people on the extreme lower end of the scale, so you're almost always assured of getting a kid, working for just over minimum wage doing your install.
If they meet/beat a price on an item, fine, get it from them. But I wouldn't trust them to mount/balance a tire on my truck...
