Well, I said I could *maybe* squeeze 33s in. Actually what I was
getting at was that if I could run bigger tires with a body lift, it
wouldn't be much bigger... But, seeing that you have the lift and are
running 31s, my "maybe" looks more like a no. So we're back to the
body lift being a mostly just-for-looks thing. I suppose it will
improve your approach/exit angles ever so slightly (assuming you lift
your bumpers with the body... some people dont) and it'll get your
rockers and floors farther from rocks and water. I do like the look...
so I'll do it some day.

If I had never seen Walt's truck, I would agree with you :) Then
again, that took some serious effort. If I ever consider a suspension
lift, I'll weigh in the solid axle option.

True true. I guess I won't hold it against him.
