your welcome, what kind of tires are you going with? I prefer the mud terrain look, rides a little rougher and louder but its a truck...the look makes up for it!!!

MT, i agree the ride is a little rougher but the look you get rocks. Plus, i like the noise, nothing like hearing them "sing" to you. I've read up a little online and i think i am going with Kumho Venture MTs they have a great rating at tirerack and are affordable for a broke college guy like me.

j-rod i forgot to ask, do you have any rubbing with yours? did you have to trim? i think they should clear easy with a 3inch lift and only 1 inch bigger in tires but i had to ask.

Only rubbing is on the frame at full turn, nothing to really worry about. only notice when i am trying to squeeze into parking spaces but you get used to taking slightly wider turns. But i don't rub anywhere else, no trimming needed and i don't have the torsion bars cranked at all. My rims are 15x8 also, not sure what you have or if it will matter(width wise that is). and that is where i got mine, best price i could find. Bought them and had them installed for a total price that was less than any BFG MT tires alone!!!

i got 32's on mine with the torion bars turned up so with a body lift, go with the 33's, mine dont rub at all and they are 11" wide so u should be fine, i got a 01 4x4 that goes like a dozer.

yeah i would think that too but people say they rub with 33s, and even j-rod admits his 32s will rub at full turn when he sqeezes into parking lots and he had the 3inch PA as well.

you probably could go with the 33's but most of the people with them have aftermarket rims with less offset, so the tire sticks out more to avoid the frame but they have to trim a lot more on the bumper and in the wheel wells. Plus i'm not sure how well a V6 would handle that much bigger of a tire. Also if you want MT's you're looking at even more rub since the sidewalls stick out (or they aren't rounded off like regular tires). I think that is the only reason mine rub. If you are looking to avoid problems and trimming while keeping stock rims, the 32's are the best bet or maybe even some 33X10.5 (BFG has these). But its your call in the end. I'm very happy with my 32 MT's.

i was running 32x11.5 bfg a/t's on my dak with a 3 inch body lift,i decided to put the 32's on my wife's durango (yes they fit fine)and go with the 33x12.5 bfg muds.i'm very happy.
since you have the 3.9 v-6 i'd go with the 32's.
