HELP with tire desicion!?

ok im fixin to install a 2.5" HBS leveling kit on my 2004 FX4, and i have decided to go with 33" tires rather than 35"s due to clearance and more flex room, which tires do you think i should run on the oem wheels? every now and then i'll hit some trails or just a little bit of mud .. nothing serious .. i want somewhat of an aggressive looking tire but will handle well on the highway as well, any advice appreciated!

Thanks.
Bray

Congrat's on the truck, a 33" tire may be the wisest decision in tires right now with the price of gas. I have both BFG and Toyo AT's and like them both. Nitto, MT and Pro Comp are good choices also.

Helicopter would be quite comforting. It sounds more like riding on the wing of a crop duster. But they do grab. No doubt about that. LOL
