New rims and tires installed.
So I went and picked up my new tires today.
33x12.50" BFG mud terrains on 15x8.5" steelies that I spray bombed black.
I hardly noticed much of a difference going from 32" tires to the 33" mudder, but it has made my rig look ALOT better!
I have to trim my lower valance, I rub about a 1/4" of the ends
What do ya'll think?
Oh and just for fun, we mocked up my roll/light bar, I think it completes the look of the truck!

...nice man, well do you want to trade it for my stock 31" alluminum alloy w/ tire? j/k man 
I'm also looking for some 33" and it will be BFG all terrian or M/T but I don't really go mud driving so I might just get the A/T, and how much total cost for your tire and rims?

haha! I gotta unload my old rims + tires heh
Rims where 120 bucks used. (needed paint BAD)
Tires came to 1190.00 after everything. He quoted me 1057.00 when I called though, so I was a little pissed off.

I like the white wall look
yeah I have to be carefull now!
I Seem to have some more rubbing issues!
I went up to a driveway to turn around and BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
when turning and hitting a bump my tires hit the back of my fenders!!
ahh!
I guess I have to be realllly slow when turning and going over bumps untill I can get some bj spacers to get a little more front lift
DANG!

sweet
So im thinking I have to either:
A back off the steering stops to prevent full lock + compression rubbing
B Crank t-bars a little to avoid said rubbing
C get bj spacers to avoid said rubbing.
Agh! I have to get an alingment next week so I dont mess up these purdy tires, so it looks like if I do any messing around with the t-bars I will have to get another one!! 100 bucks a pop

I was going to order the 1.5" BJ spacers Directly from SDORI since he is the one who manufactures them.
Thanks for the comments, I LOVE the way she looks now
I think it will look almost complete with
1. light bar with lights
2. rear bumper
3. front lights
4. new paint!!

Yes I did there easy, I just do not know why I have killed 4 Idlers since installing them.
Let me know if you have any questions.
