Now I'm either going to upgrade to OME 3" lift with BFG KO2 285/70R17
or
Keep the current lift, buy new 265/70R17 and add some armor for oilpan and diff, and do a bunch of cheap QOL mods (Seat covers, lighting upgrades) and then start thinking about a bumper/wench.
It's my daily driver with about a dozen 4x4 trips a year average.
Most recently I got stuck about half way up Medano Pass at Sand Dunes because of some serious opposing holes and was wondering if that might want more tire? I dunno. I'm an eternal greenhorn.
I'm going to make the decision this week and was hoping for some advice from others on the subject.
Also, any advice on how to handle insurance changes due to upgrades increasing value of the vehicle?
Thanks!

I'll bite, Option 1 for me! but I have questions:
How old is your current suspension setup springs/shocks?
What would you do to change your lift? a whole new setup or just upgrade pieces?
How was your experience with the BFG's?
I have an 07 v8 with a Dobinson's IMS setup and yoko Geo MT's 285/70r17 wrapped around a -10 offset wheel
