I would listen to hammer, he made some good points.

I love mine, but almost ready to switch up myself, I'm thinking about switching to All terrains with the prices of gas lately going up so fast. I might be able to save at least some MPG.

Once you see the Cepek FC II's in person you will know what I am talking about, for an all-terrain it doesn't get any better from what I have seen, plus Hammer says they wear well and off road well and that is good enough for me. There just aren't very many all-terrain tires out there that are very mean looking and the FC II's are about the only ones I have seen that are. Plus they got enough sizes to fit just about whatever you want, 33, 35, 37's and the wide width's if you want and can fit them. They are at the upper end price wise, but so are theMT ATZ and the Pro Comp's and I am not going to argue over 100 bucks either way, no point to it if you get what you really want.

just get the road hazard warranty from discount tire. And then drive through a construction site

My neighborhood still has construction going on but further back, but when I moved in half the lots were still empty near, I picked up 3 screws in a month, started pissing me off.

I have a 3" body and a 3" add-a-leaf in the rear and new torsion keys in the front! I had to do a little trimming in the front wheel wells and also had to re-mold the plastic in the front wheel well also!

well from 3 people in a row now i heard the pro comp xtreme at arent that great. and for another 40 bucs a tire....actually close to equal the amount because the FC-IIs have free freight.....ill go with what you guys say if theyre mean looking. $340 a tire though[:@]how deep is the tread that what im mainly looking for, nice deep tread. always look nice, thats why i like mud grapplers so much lol

Default RE: mud tires

I hadnt actually really looked at doing a body lift, i suppose i shouldve clarified. I was looking at doing a rough country 3" suspension. 3" coils up front and a 1" block in the rear and maybe even trying to find a 2" inch block and throw 1" spacers up front to pull out 4"s all around. How much are the 3" body lifts? i would imagine with the body and suspension lift i would easily clear 35's....right?

I would sure think that a 3" body lift and any suspension lift together would clear 35's no problem.
