Do you want mud or all terrain tires. I think the Nitto's are the best price and look of the all terrains.

The Firestone Wilderness MT get good reviews on Tirerack. I think I will go with these because they are also priced well.

I don't do Nitto's for the same reason I don't do Yoy-Tota's....

I agree with Mitch. I have the Truxx lift and longer Cognito Bilisten shocks on my Alpha. Running 35" BFG MT's.

I have 35 inch BFG MT's as well.

Just be sure to get your front end aligned after the leveling kit.

I would recommend the MTRs. One of the best all around tires out there.
