where's the best place to get Swampers?
I am possibly looking into getting Super Swampers for the rig after I get my lift installed (this wed!!!!!) I don't want my 265's to be too small!
Anyone got a good place to go to get CHEAP swampers?

What lift are you going with 2.5's? I'm trying to decide what tire size to go to once my lift is in as well, thinking 265-75-16's most likely, 285's might be pushing it.

c'mon david, I'm at stock height and i'm running 265/75's with no rubbing on a full turn. You gotta go with 285's!!

Check your news paper's website (easier and free to search classifieds). They pop up every now in then in mine. Saw some a couple of weeks ago $60 a tire with 20k on them.

JP, how long did the RB lift take?
I can only find cheap swampers that are really wide. the 285/75/16's are about 33" tall, and about 11.5" wide.
The swampers are all 33" 12.5! that RB lift might be my ticket to swampers!

Depending on who you talk to, the 285's will give you some rubbing. Keisur noted that once he installed the panhard bracket he wasn't getting any rubbing in the back anymore. I know some people pound the pinch weld in the front fender to avoid rubbing in the front with 285's. I'm just worried about regearing issues, and also whether to get a second wider set of rims to hold the 285's.
As for sources for swampers, try discount tires, or even 4wheelparts:
