Does anyone here know of a good set of 32x12.5x15 inch all terrain tires? Most of the tires I see are all only 11.5 inches wide, and thats not what I'm looking for.

If you inflate them to 30lbs yes, it will run down the center lugs. if you however inflate them to a pressure where the whole tread has equal contact with the road the tires will last just as long. Personally I'll be running for my next set probably 33x10.50s on back spaced 10" wheels. I'm not worried too much about dinging up the rims offroad as my eventual plan is to do a homebrew beadlock conversion

I don't think they make 32x12.50s and if they do you'll have a very very limited selection. Why are you so set on a 12.5 over a 11.5?

What parts will I have to have to add 1.5 to 2 inches onto my RC 3inch lift. Do I need steering parts or anything else? Should I go with shackles and spacers?

HD steering parts, adjustable track bar. Alignment, SYE becomes a good idea or in some cases a necessity. brake line extensions and thats about it new CAs would be smart or a LA upgrade

What control arms should I get if im on a low budget and what track bar. Also, would a t-case drop get rid of the need for a slip yoke eliminator?

Thats a good trackbar, the one with the bracket is also good. Some ppl have had issues with them so hopefully someone will chime in with some other options.

4.5" max, could be lower. depends on whether you get bad driveline vibs or not.

and you don't just extend the ds, you have to get a SYE with a CV driveshaft

No, I mean that I will probably have to go up to 33 inch tires to find a good tire selection......which gives me a reason to go taller!

What is a good trackbar and how about not adjustable control arms. Where can I get non adjustable control arms. What shackle and spacer kit is the best to add on to my lift?
