Its TIRES people.... If you are only going to do 1 thing it MUST be tires..... Does a football player after putting on pads and a helmet go back to the locker to grab his ballerina shoes? HELL NO! he puts on cleats for TRACTION... Does a track star wear flip flops? no he puts on his spikes... For TRACTION. Take a truck, lift it, get diff lockers and a winch and go drive offroad into MUD, SAND, and DIRT... You think a lifted truck with street tires is going to get very far? If you do you are a fool. The 1 thing that ALL offroad capable vehicles have in common- BIG DAMN TIRES!

I'd rather have 4 ok tires pullin vs 2 good tires IMO. Been stuck with 1 front and 1 back. Never been stuck with 4 ok tires.

2 different trucks of course.

It's really not even debate-able.
TIRES. Not necessarily 'Bigger', but OFF-ROAD tires.
You could have the best shocks, sweetest lift, best locker etc., and you'll simply sit there and spin up your tires if you're running the stock street-tread.
Proper tires are a MUST.
