thats a good reason. the main thing with 13.50s is youre going to need backspaced rims. its not the height, once you trimmed your fenders/lift it and you can clear them that way, you need to clear them width wise.

those wide boggers with low backspaced/wide wheels are going to eat wheel bearings and ball joints for breakfast.

my 33s ate my fender stuffed and at full lock before I added to my bumpstops. Luckly I like the bent and twisted look. LOL The 4.5 and 33s combo seem to be the trend. For driveabilty and mpgs though. Your going to want to change your gearing. I plan on going with 4.56s. You may also want to get some DD tires and save the boggers for the trails.

Mine with 33-12.50s on 15x8 & 3.75 back spacing. Some trimming. I also have 3.75" of bumpstops in the frt. stock in rear. No longer rubs at full stuff and lock. You'll like the setup. Still need gearing though.
