Thanks man! that's awesome. Yeah the front is easy, it's mostly the rear I'm lookin at. Need to buy new tires anyway, and thought I'd lift it a bit first.

I'm not sure if you can go with a smaller diameter rim, due to the size of the brakes. I'll have to double check that with some of the guys that are more familiar with second gens. For a radial all terrain, you can't go wrong with a BFG All Terrain. For straight highway, I like Michelen LTX-S. I'm sure others will have other recommendations. Who's Baja Radial are you looking at?

Okay, not sure what size your current wheels are, but I've been told that 15" wheels will fit yours just fine.

so what are some good manufacturers of some 15" beadlocks? I like the style that is black with a silver lip, and has the round billet holes

You looking for real beadlocks? Or a more street friendly look-alike?

Real beadlocks require regular supervision, and while some will say they are not street legal, I think that they shouldn't be recommended for a daily driver. When I had beadlocks on my daily driver, I maintained a second set of 'street' tires on separate wheels.

Okay I didn't know that thanks for the heads up. Yeah I def don't want to have to constantly monitor them, but I probably wouldn't go for fakes either lol. That makes my rim options even cheaper haha

If you are running a the 31x10.50x15 tires, I'd probably go with a 15x8 wheel. Steel will be cheaper, but Aluminum will have less rotational mass, and thus better MPG's.

You could do the 3" body lift that I have on the sport trac, not to bad to do and it was around $250 if I remember, and I might be interested in selling you my 15X10 rock crawler rims that have 35" Goodyear MTR's on them with a little more than 1/2 tread left along with a spare that's never been used.

Probably not much of a noticeable difference. You'll likely lose more from the tire size difference, until you regear the axle to compensate.

So triple E, any reason you recommended 15x8 over 15x10?
