I am assuming that ripping off the bumper was not due to the tires. This summer I am hoping to make some bumpers and rock sliders. But we'll see.

I'd spend the $$$ on a 1.6L motor long before I spent it on a SPOA.

   Jeremiah, you have had lots of excellent advice till this comment. Suspension and engine performance are two different things entirely. This guy is asking about suspension setups, so stay on topic. 

When did we get topic nazzis? When I was a noob, I would ask a lot of questions. Often times people would say "don't spend money on X, take a look at Y". I didn't even necessairly know about Y, or know that spening $$$ on Y was better than spending money on X. Decisions about upgrades to a vehicle aren't made in a vacuum. People are on limited budgets, and it sounds like the OP is trying to decide where his money is best spent.... so even though the topic is specifically about suspension, I think I'm well within the general topic of helping a noob think about his options. If you disagree that a 1.6L is money better spent, and believe a SPOA is better $$$ spent - why not talk abou the merrits of SPOA vs 1.6L swap?

Jeremiah I think you are on topic. I am trying to figure out the best build options to get a capable wheeler. Like I would not have thought about a locker, but now may consider it before going with a big expensive lift.

No, it had nothing to do with the tires.  The stumps and the rocks got it. 

We have some shots of a stock Sammy from a trip we made last summer still running street treads at http://picasaweb.google.com/CrawlersNW/WalkerValleyJune08 and video from it at with just a locker in the back, the stump would have gone faster if he had realized he was in two high earlier. 

We usually pull the front bumpers off and run the front turn signals in side the grill.  Then cut the bumper tubes off for clearance.

1st you asking about lifting your truck, Now you want to buy some tires.... How old are you?

$250 for those tires are a rip off. I can find a set of 31's with decent tread for $150 in oregon.

Go buy some spring perches and lift your truck. I can do a SPOA on a samurai in 3 hours.

Dude if you can't say anything helpful, keep your freaking mouth shut.

I have been helpful, But it's very clear your not interested in taking anyone's advice. Maybe you should eat your own words and do some RESEARCH instead of looking like a Moron on the forums.

Yes clearly this is helpful info for me. And I would love to take advice if I had the money right now to do a proper lift. But... since I don't I am taking advice to just go with a set of tires for now and enjoy my rig. And I don't know why I am not allowed to ask about lifting and then ask about tires also. And thanks for your help A$$ I am not sure how much more I will be on here cause of people who just want to belittle others instead of helping them.

Seems like things are getting a little unproductive here. Spring fever may be hitting, I don't know. If there is question as to why this thread has been locked, please refer to the Welcome message at the top of this forum section.
