Anyone want to help me pick tires?
Ok So I am putting the Rancho Quick lift 2.5" with the 9000 rears on my truck next weekend. 130k miles and the shocks are toast (original shocks/struts).
So I am looking for some help, I am thinking 33/12.5/17 on the stock kinda ugly 17in rims. Its an '04 XLT.
I want the tires to stick out of the wheel wells a little bit maybe an inch or two but I have to drive this thing to work also. Trust me I wish I only had to drive it to go fishing and cut firewood and get to my tree stand.
So I have a budget of about $1000 give or take a little.
I was looking at the Cooper STT's and the A/T3's I think the A/T3's would be better on the highway but those STT's are sick looking and its really only about 100-200 more for the set of STT's because I am getting E rated.
Ok so please help ... I need to get the RIGHT tires for this truck!
Here is how it sits now. With really sad grocery getter 235/75/17's on it

I'm looking on mavis and they have All-Terrain T/A KO LT315/70R17's for $298 each ... thats pretty expensive though right?

they don't have any side tread action really though do they?
what do you think about that size LT315/70R17. basically a 35" tire with 12.5 inch width, will that stick out of the wheel wells a little?
