Offroad tire sizing with TT and Shackles?

I've got a 99 XLT 4dr 4wd and I plan on doing the TT and Shackles, I need to know what tire size to get that will be the best for the lift, stock wheels but also not cost me a million dollars. I was either going to go with BFG A/T's or Pro Comp AT's... probobly the BFG A/T though. I have stock BFG Long Trails on there right now, 235/75/15... what tire spec should I give to get pricing. I'd like to stay under $600.00 total installed. Oh yeah, I have a state inspection due in about a month so keep that in mind. Thanks

20+ MPG! HAH I only get 16-17 mpg stock with 4.0 SOHC.
 






I've always had good mileage with my OHV believe it or not, I don't need to impress anyone. Sorry your SOHC does not meet your expectations, every vehicle and driver is different. Maybe you need a tuneup?

ya, i was getiing that with mine two, then i changed the air filter. My best was a little over 21 mpg. Then i got 32's now i get about 18-19. But my 32's a really heavy tires. It all depends on what you're gunna be using your ex for.
