I went from 31x10.50 to 33x12.50. The first two are obviously before. I think this looks mean.

Sgt,

I have been wondering some of this myself. I am going to put a 2.5 Susp lift. I have been reading through a lot of the forum and I see a lot of people with 33's with only the 2.5 susp lift. You should be fine with that and your 1" BL.

You should be good. I have the same set-up. I rub the front edge of the front fender going down hill with the wheel fully stuffed. I mean REALLY stuffed like 45 degree down angle and some sideways tilt.

You'll be fine. I run 2.5in only with 33's. Only draw back with the 12.50's is reduced turning radius I run 10.50's no radius arm rubbing issues and I think they look better than the 12.50's. I also think traction is better with them.

Thanks everyone for the comments. You say the 10.50s look better. Can someone send pictures of each to show me the difference? If they are going to rub, I don't know that I want to deal with that.

The warflares are great, just spendy. They are cheaper than the ufo flares, about the same thing I think. I bolted mine on with alan head bolts (thanks Tito for the idea), and they look tough. The wife says it reminds her of the spikes on a pitbull's collar.
