Default Leveling and Tires

Alright guys i'm looking to get an 04-08 scab flaire side. But if i can't get the flaire the i would settle for a FX4 or STX. Anyway I want it to be black or charcoal, and i'm going for a 2.5" leveling Kit, however i'm torn between tires whether i should get BFG A/T or Toyo M/T, I do alot of hunting, but also alot of highway driving. Oh and i not sure whether to go with the 33X12.50, or the 35's. Oh and i'm going for a wheel that is Machined with black accents, and low profile black tool box. If any one out there has a similar setup to this could please post your pics so i could get a look at the difference between the 33's and 35's

Thanks Alot Guys

i would go with the toyo m/t's those are some of the best tires out on the market right now and if you go hunting they will hold their own. also i would go with the 33's if i were you unless you get the right rim with the right backspacing the 35's will not fit. i had to trim the black plastic on my truck when i got my new tires and rims put on and i have a 6" lift

I'd also go with the Toyo MT's if it were me. I have the Pro Comp MT's on my truck and am pretty happy with them, although I haven't taken the truck offroad so can't speak of their performance there. As far as size it really depends on how much you want to spend. Once you start moving up to 35's is when you really need to start thinking about regearing your truck. So with a 4WD you're looking at possibly another $1200-$1500 for new gears. It's not an absolute have to with 35's, I rode around on my 35's and stock 3.55 gears for 9 months, but it sure does make a huge difference.
