Well my tires are shot, 31x10.5 stts. mods are in sig. Should I go with the 32x11.5s im seein on craigslist pretty cheap. Will it be putting to must stress on my drivetrain?

I cut the hell out of my fenders so I have the room.

Save your money and just go with 33's. I know you found a deal, but I think 33" is a sweet spot for our jeeps.

I wont fit 33's with my BB and fender trimming, plus 33's with a aw4 and stock gearing would be a nightmare wouldnt it?

unless you have somewhat immediate plans for a lift/gearing upgrades, i'd stick with 31's unless you think you need the 32's for wheeling. It's sort of a waste unless you need to upgrade. Performance on-road will decrease further along with gas mileage with 32s

I dd'ed 32" bighorns for a while, stock 3.55 gears...it wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad. Big hills sucked, but it wasnt too bad, I still averaged 18 mpg on the highway(mostly flat ground). I'd say go for it.

I know plenty of people who have ran 33s and stock gears. if you are that concerned about it just throw 32s under there. it wont make that much of a noticeable difference

go for it! i ran that same setup as you (BB with trimmed) and had 32s with stock gearing. it wasnt horrible onroad and still did great wheeling
