Ideally this is what Ill do, but I wont really know whether it will work or not til the kit is on and I can get a tape measure out and see where Im at.

10" of lift and 35's would look stupid. it'd be worse than having stock tires with a 6" lift. 10" need 37's or 38's.

Ive always liked the way the moto metals have looked when they are moving.. Rims should look good in action I think and these do the job. And Ive heard nothing but good about the Mickey Thompsons. Plus its a little diff than the standard Toyos or Nittos evone seems to have.
yep def a pretty close group, but always room for more. seems like most people looking for A/T get either the cooper zeon, cepek fc2, or nitto terras. people looking for M/T get mud graps, toyos, or trail graps. i think its because some people have them, they work great. then others ask for recommendation, hear the good review and then get them also. then everyone has the same tires ... doesnt mean they're the best, just what everyone has. i think you'll like the mickeys. throw out some good reviews and you might start a following!

I think this lift would top out at a little less than 9" so I dunno where the 10" number came from. But I think what Ill do is install everything and see where Im at, then go from there.

Ive heard nothing but good about the Mickeys and theres a custom shop here in town that tries to sell them to evone. I know of at least three guys who have 40K plus on them and still goin strong. Plus I got them for $850 bucks so I cannot possibly beat that. I didnt want a super aggressive MT but like the looks of them. These are a good compromise I think.
