its always better to use the least amount of lift for the big tires you want. its about how much drop (flex) you can get anyways. unless you wanna build a mud truck only...

here is what mine used to be before the lift upgrade. and tires. these are 31s and lift is 4.5


heres it with 33's and 4.5

and 33s with 6.5-7 in lift


the second pic is most desireable for 33s... firs and last pics have too little tire/too much lift

i need 36's badly lol

very very good tires, i also have them on my full size truck also and absolutely love them. when i was looking for tires for my jeep i first bout some geolanders but then did some research and there was a lot of bad reviews....so i said screw it i returned it and took a risk getting the kuhmo's for my jeep because i wasnt sure how they would do on rock but i tests them out last week and now i think they are the best tires out there

this is my truck with the tires towing my old jeep
