Okay maybe wasent clear....

Im not looking to invest in rubber.

I found someone selling rims and tires. 5 of them 33x12.50 BF GOODRICH All Terians..

he wants 550 for the 5, they have 75% tread left.

Im not putting 33 inch tires on my rims i have new rims id be getting.

And what is all this bumpstop talk?

Im used to VW's and lowering cars, in our car we remove bumpstops to achieve more low. So in the jeep community do you guys add bumpstops or something??? this will only make me high or lower

bumpstops have nothing to do with ride height.. they're there to keep your tire from smashing into the fender during uptravel.

Mine had less than a 1/4" to the leafs when sitting level. It bound up on both the leafs and the inner fender well when flexed. Pics on my build page.

If you are getting new tires then just get new rims with more offset.
