Should I just level my truck out with 33 12.50 17 mud grapplers or level it and throw a 3" body lift on with 35 12.50 17 mud grapplers?

First pic is my truck, 2nd pic is 33" mud grapplers on leveled truck and 3rd pic is leveled with body with on 35" grapplers

I think 33s would work out best that way you dont have to look into regearing, worry about shift linkage issues, and cut down tire cost by quite a lot aswell. Just the way i would personally go

I'd say go with 33's. And it says in the pic a local guy made it. Looks like he based it off a brush guard and build the plate bumper around that. I think that's what TritonSAS did on his.

I'd go with 35 125o mainly because that's what I'm running

I think just slap a body lift on it.... unless you plan out changing the gears i wouldn't put 35s on it until you where ready for it.
