Specs, its a 93, 6cyl auto w/33x12.50s and im guessing a 4 inch lift ??? (The person I bought it from was not the one who installed the lift)
Besides the tires and lift everything else is stock.
Other than roof mounting the spare Im not going to do a whole lot more to it.
I need some 2" wheel spacers if im going to keep the 12.50's and im going to put a locker in the front end. If anyone has either of those laying around PM me.

Welcome to the fourm from NC. Nice jeep. 2" wheel spacers is a lot of spacing new rims would serve you better. Just buy you some new black steelies for around 50 bucks a peice. 15x8 3.75 bs should be good with the 33x12.50.

I could always drop to a 10.50 with 1" spacers ???
Any advantage/disadvantage of staying with 12.50's

Just your foot print will be smaller which will cuase you to have less traction in some situations. Also 12.50 make your stance wider helping you to be more stable in certain cituations. However if those are stock jeep rims then they are possibly 15x7. Which is not a safe rim to run a 12.50 on. 10.50 is the largest size tire that should be run on them safely. If spacers is the way you want to go though I would use a 1 to 1.25 spacer.
