33" ssr's

I think I am putting this in the right place. ok so I have 5 33x12.50x15 super swamper ssr's on 15x8 ar767's and at first i was thinking I was going to do a body lift and use these tires because they are basicly like new used for offroading only (on my jeep) maybe 500 road miles if i'm lucky. I have changed my mind now, I think i am going to go with no lift and use either 32x11.50 or 33x10.50 BFG muds and stock alcoa wheels for a low CG. So my question is how much do you think I could get for the ssr's and which size tire would you guys go with.

i got an idea have all us mich guys come over and supply food and we can body lift the truck in about 6 hours and you can run 15x10 with some 33x12.5 BFG's and it will look nice

we tend to do good work take a look

i all ready have 33x12.50's so why would i want to buy new 12.50's if that is what i was going to go with and also i don't like 12.50's on a 10" rim because when you air down you are more likely to pop a beed.

as for the body lift part I have some future mods in mind for the bumpers and think they will be easier without the body lift.

i know it would be a down grade, to me the ssr is the best radial mud terrain out there but I am just kicking around some different ideas in my head. My thinking is that i am going to need new tires soon i have 46000 miles on my BFG's so i was thinking sell the ssr's and take the money and by another set of BFG's but 32 or 33's. Also if I don't go with a body lift my rear bumber i am going to go with will be easier make work and alot stronger sense i will not have to raise the brackets to make up for the difference.

If youre goin for LCG just get some fiberglass or somethin. I have a body lift and I would have done things a bit different. with some fiberglass front fenders youll get those 33s ni there easy.

You can get different bulge sze fiberglass, but with a smaller bulge, i think it looks sweet...

then what do you do about the rear a 33x10.50 almost hits at full flex so i can only imagine what a 12.50 will do.

well when you get teh fiberglass (if you do) the flares on the rear will look funny any way, but when im at full flex, it loves to chew on my flares...
