there's a guy who used to be on here that ran 29" tires out there. Tons of armor and underbody protection so he would drag himself over stuff. I've got you beat though I ripped my muffler off while wheeling. I guess it all depends on how you want to wheel and where you want to wheel. I'd still prefer my tight high clearance bumpers over some that hang way out. I have a front and rear hitch so the plan is to get a winch plate and have wires to the front and rear and slide it in whichever hitch I need it and pull myself out, but that's farther down the road.

I like the low C.O.G. setups they are pretty nice really and seems to follow my goals better than skyjacking it but I am thinking smaller tires mainly for price and availability
