Went with a Teraflex leveling kit and BFG 33 inch tires and love them!
My reasoning is, if you're going to buy new tires, you might as well go bigger. Same logic as buying a TV,

Want a bigger looking tire? You almost need to walk up and read the tire size to tell the difference between 32 and 33.
Want a better performing tire? Tread design will make more difference than size between 32 and 33.
Want a tire that isn't available in 32 (Like Duratrac or TA/KOs)? Get some 33s and a Procal.

Thanks for all the good info
I've got what you're looking for! 285/75/17r Firestone Destinations AT. I believe these are a 32". I kick myself for not getting 35's. but these really are a great tire. Quiet on the road. Pretty much same gas mileage as my stocks. I didn't think they'd do too well off roading, but they definitely hold their own. Great if you only go a few times a year. And even in the snow ( despite this picture of my jeep snowballs) they grip well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this tire again. Unless of course I had the good sense to go bigger :p. recommend the 33" Firestones. GREAT quality for the price!
