Bigger tires without the lift?

Bigger tires without the lift?
I am thinking about the future of my truck. One day when I have some more cash lying around I would like to put some bigger tires on my truck. I understand there is a sticky about what will fit, so don't bother telling me. I would like to see some pictures of some rangers with bigger tires and no lift or a slight T-bar crank. I am interested in a more aggressive looking tire. Feel free to post. I have an 03 fx4 and am not too keen on the onion skin tires I have on the truck right now. Let's seem em'

Well Jerome,
I ditched the stock 255/70/16's (overall diameter 30.9") and went to a 15" rim with a 31x10.5x15 tire (31" overall diameter obviously)
I have no lift, and just cranked the torsions to make the truck sit level (2 full turns on each side).
Tires I have are Cooper Discoverer STT's. Absolutely amazing. You'll be able to fit 32's and 33's will be tight. Do a 2.5" shackle,which is like $60 and throw that in and you got an easy lift.
Here's mine,stock with 31s. They are barely any bigger than stock,but look much more aggressive. Oh,btw, my rims are a 4" backspace.

Considering he lives waaaaay up north near santa claus, he is going to want some pretty aggressive tires like mine. They are AWFUL on ice, but fantastic in the snow, and are great on dry roads too.
You will be at a bit of a gas milage loss if you go with some heavy rims like my Cragars, so to keep things a little lighter, try and find some decent 15x8 alloys to keep your rotational mass down.

Regardless let's keep the pictures coming people. I don't care if they are BFG AT or MT's or Mickey thomspons. Whatever you got without a lift please post a picture. Thanks. 03 Army Ranger, I dig your tires. They look great. I am assuming that #1 t-bars are what come with FX4 model rangers?? Sorry I am pretty new to this.
