sorry no more pics of the ifs/boggers.
yea i had stock gears at the time, i could still do the speed limit but not much more lol.
and yes i could feel the difference between the two sets (33 vs 35). those 35 boggers are actually pretty heavy. i think my 36x13.50's are only like 10lbs heavier per tire, and my iroks are much bigger.

I run 35x12.5's on my 1990 4Runner, which is actually lowered 1" in the front, and all I had to do was minor clearancing on the pinch weld on the firewall to run them.
They rock off-road and look awesome.

33x10.50's would be better all around IMO
TSL's of any kind just plain suck onroad. You can argue they dont but you're kidding yourself. OK for driving to the trail but DD man its just not pleasant. I tolerated it for about one month before I started going insane.
the 33x10.50 KM2's kick ass and ride like a dream.. and you only lose 1" clearance over using them over a 35.
Something to think about! Experience is priceless!

I didnt take the time to read allll the replies so if someone mentioned it... my bad. But the biggest thing that matters is what your going to do with them (obviously) if its just mud then the taller skinnier ones will digg better and get to the bottom and pull you through while the wider ones will keep you floating on top. Rocks on the other hand i think we can all figure out the wide ones are better for keeping you from rolling.

Do a search about tires on some other forums and you'll find a lot of interesting info on tires. Tall skinny tires actually out perform wide tires more often than not. The smaller contact patch means more pressure on the tread to conform to the surface (this is truest in rocks). Unless your in Iceland or northern Alaska where the snow is consistently deeper than your tires tall and skinny work best.
Heres a really good link that explains it all
