Just like the title says, I have a 99 two door with black 18 inch rims and im looking for that perfect tire. I already installed a 3" body lift and will hopefully be getting a 2.5-3" lift either skyjacker or rough country and trying to decide which tires. I like an aggressive pattern but it is my daily driver. I really like Nitto Trail grapplers and Cooper Discoverer STT but im just trying to see if anybody knows of a cheaper but competitive tire. Any help is appreciated!!

33"x12.5". You will be able to run stock gears without much problem and they will look good on there too.

thanks... you dont think the 33's will look too small after the extra 2.5-3"? Im already running 285/65's and they look small just with the BL. (Ill try to post some pics when i get home) And whats a good tire to run? like i said i like the trail grapplers but theyre a little pricey but i know u pay for what u get, just wondering if theres a good cheap tire im missing out there

Like you said you get what pay for when it comes to tires. I'm a firm believer in that. Buy a cheap tire and you will get ****** wear and life. Buy a good tire, the wear abd life is better among other things. BFG makes good tires, Nitto, Toyo, Mickey Thompson, Pro Comp, etc. These aren't cheap tires, but you won;t be disappointed in them.

Some cheaper ones you might condiser is the Dayton Timberline MT if you can find it or the Dunlop Rover MT. These are mud terrain tires though.

Nope a 33" will look good. I run about 8" of lift right now on the truck and I run a 35" and it looks good. A 36" tire wouldn't kill me though
