For when i get a body lift for my graduation present it looks like ill need some new tires to match it. Mine are really expensive at 300 bucks a tire. I have good year wrangler 275/70R/17 tires right now. I have heard good things about BFG off road tires, but what model and how big? Im only looking to spend about 150-160 on each tire hopefully. I use my hoe on the street quite a lot too so i would want tires that could be good on the street as well as off road.

I really DOUBT that you will find any new tires that are around 150-160 in a size that you are looking for. If you do a 2" body lift 305's look good on it. If you do a 3" body lift you probably run a 35" tire. When it comes to tires MOST of the time you get what you pay for. You could also look into some nitto terra grapplers I have had pretty good luck with them.
ok what about these?

would these look good with a 3 inch body lift?

IMO yea. although im not a big fan of body lifts. they always look odd to me.
You might have to do a little trimming if you run a 35 but I am not sure and crank your torsion bars. Those tires would not work if you still plan on running a 17" wheel you would need a 17" tire and those are 15". I have looked a few places at the BFG M/T and about the cheapest that I could find is about 260.
Sorry what does trimming mean?
and does the 17 inches on my tire refer to the height of my tire? your saying that those tires i was looking at were 2 inches less in height than the ones i have? Im just really new to everything and if i were to get a 3 inch body lift i want some mean off road tires to match it. im willing to spend 180 bucks on each tire 260 per tire is ridiculously expensive for me. im only 18 years old with money saved and no job but graduation coming up ( probably get a grand there ). I guess they don't have to be BFG's since they are one of the most expensive tires. just solid big off road tires that would fit my lift.

No when I am refering to 17" and 15" that is the size of your wheel/rim not the tire. And when I say trimming I mean cutting a little. Are you sure that you want to do a body lift right now because the way that you talk you dont have to much money. Have you thought about waiting to do the body lift and when you need tires just get you something like a 285/70r17 (33x11.2r17) which will most likley cost some where around 180. Which you can run stock and just save the rest of your graduation money and put it in the bank and wait until you are better off financially and do it then. not to tell you what you want to do with your money.
I was planning on getting the 3 inch body lift and new tires for a graduation present which is in may. I'm spending about 500 on some stuff like headlights, tail lights, and step bars right NOW and the tires + body lift would be the very last. If my tires are 275/70R/17 right now what difference would it be to go from 275 to 285? wouldn't that be a waste of change?

yea both of those will fit and I might be able to find a picture of a 2 door with a 3" body lift. Those headlights might stick out a little bit because I have heard that alot of the aftermarket headlights stick out a little. but I am not sure which ones
will the sticking out be a problem? and do you think those items will look good on my hoe?
thanks for stickin around to answer my questions and all i really appreciate it.
one more favor, could you find me some step bars for my 2 door at a price lower than 200 bucks? would black or chrome look good?

I would say go with black steps instead of the chrome I think black would look better. I dont really know much about the steps so I am not much help there. why are you buying both the parking lights and the headlights because you already have clear parking lights?
aren't they a differen't style? they are smoked so wouldnt my top ones be smoked then parking lights be clear would that match
it seems like all of the head lights on ebay just come with parking lights. I don't mind payin 100 bucks for headlights and parking lights of the same kind that look ill.
