Would the gas savings from 35 to 33 really be all that much. I mean considering you'll now have to buy new tires.

I used to have 33" terragraplers. They were actually 325/60R18 so they were just over 33" tall (like 33.4) and like 13.3" wide. Those tires were the worst hydroplaning tires I have ever owned. What gear ratio do you have? I had those 33s and 4.10s and got about 16mpg mixed. I now have 35s (nitto mudgrapplers) and 5.13s and get 13mpg mixed. I think mich of the MPG drop is because the 35s are E rated so I run them at like 26 PSI. Also, they are very heavy.

Here is is back when I had a 2" superlift and 33's:

You'll gain more MPG by reprogramming the ECU with the Superchips Flashpaq...

And it's only $308 (free shipping) total from Northride4x4 that's the smarter way to go..
