Yea... tires first if you're thinking tires vs lift. And depending on how much you wanna cut, and how big o tire you want--you can get away w/o a lift for a while.

Mud is fun for a while when you're starting out, but as you build (unless you build for mud) you'll start to avoid it like most of us.

Mud is the plague!!


Skip 31s, if you have money for 31s you can afford 32s or 33s.

Call jeremy and Danny at Allsouth and tell them you need the gatr deal on some tires. I think the Maxxis
Bighorn is priced right with an aggressive tread but they may have something even better.

It may be priced right for a big name tire, but from the sound of it he is on a real budget.
 See if you can find a place that sells the "Federal Couragia m/t" I picked up a brand new set of 31x10.5 for $525 mounted and balanced 2 years ago. They're a stout and aggressive tire for the price and had better traction in slick conditions than the other cheapo tires like the Dunlop Mud Rover.

preferably minimal due to my father being uptight about my jeep. i found a pretty good deal for a set of 32's at All South, thinking about doing them.
