Default Need Advice! New tires or suspension lift

Ok here is my delema... my income tax check is coming back soon and im gonna spend a little bit of it.. Heres where i need some help in my delema. The tires i am running have about 8-10k left on the them but the truck is really driven on the weekends so doesnt get driven that often. Now i was going to get new tires the Nitto Trail Grapps 35's but i was thinken of getting the suspension lift. now the problem would be is that i have a 3" body lift already and the tires are 33's but almost bald like i stated. Now the help that i need is to decide what to do. TIRES OR LIFT but would it look stupid with the 3" body 6" suspension and 33's until i get the 35's or skip the lift and get the tires??? please help!!!

yes the 33"s will look tiny! look at it this way... if you get the lift your gonna def need tires anyway, why not get the 35's first and then buy the lift in the future. just my opinion... or save and get both at the same time!

jk360 i was gunning for the tires first just thought the lift would be badarse. the reason i was hesitent was because as you said the 33's would look tiny. just wanted to get some opinions and so far they lean the way i like

i think you would need something bigger than 35s for 9 inches of lift. id go with at least a 37 or 38 inch tire.

Yeah 35's are gonna look small with a 9 inch lift. I say save and don't buy either until you can do both.
