Scooby, your rig is awesome! I love the red. Reminds me of my first Jeep, an XJ in "Chili Pepper Red." Honestly, you're almost talking me into Toyos now. They just look so mean.
Here's a question guys- I'm seeing Toyos offered in a 285/75/R17 which according to them breaks down to 34.1" tall and 11.2" wide. Besides their price
could they be a happy medium that would fit better with just me leveling kit, or am I too optimistic? Would those look more or less like a 33". They're only like .3" smaller than the 315/70 Duratracs.

Btw, I bought my 33's in a black friday sale last year and upgraded to 35 x 12.5 x 15 a month ago. It was a huge relief to correct my original mistake.

Agree with this. If you want 35's, get the 35 X 12.50. As mentioned, if you go with a 315 / 70, it's closer to a 33" than a 35" + noticeably more narrow. I wheel with a guy that didn't realize this. Upgraded from 33" to 315 / 70. Then 3 months later upgraded to 35 X 12.5. 325 / 70 might be a good option if you want the metric, more narrow size. However, not many tire manufacturers make this size.
