you're arguing because of a 1" width difference? there are tons of pictures of 4.5 with 33x12.5s on there. It will look almost exactly like that.

Would 4-6 inch rough country shocks be good for 4.5 inch lift? I plan on going up to 5.5 and that's it. And experience running them?
And also 4.10, 4.27, or 4.56 gears for 33x10.50?
Thanks

Sort of a hard combination in a way. Good mud tires will wear out a lot quicker on a DD than All Terrain tires. I've run BF Goodrich MTs, cheapo Pepboys mud tires, and Truxxus MTs. The Truxxus MTs were the quietest on the road and did as good, or probably better, than the other MT tires off road. All the MTs wore out in around 25-30k.
Right now my XJ has Procomp ATs on it. They've already gone around 30k and easily still have half the tread left. The cost between the good MTs and good ATs is about the same but you get twice the life from the ATs. Obvious disadvantage is that the AT won't do as well in the mud. I've run two sets of tires. The ATs for for DD and light off road. Then a used set of Super Swampers for the serious stuff.
