Wich kind of lift do you have?, even those 33"s will rub given some conditions, getting bigger tyres puts more strain on all the drivetrain (they're also a lot more expensive), and will most probably require you to re-gear the diffs (wich is expensive), in order to keep a decent acceleration. If you're just doing it for the looks, keep those 33"s (the size, not the brand). If it's just a HW daily driver, i would even prefer 31"s.

Now, wich tyre? i personally like the Geolandars a lot, and have seen guys running Grandtreks a good while, several nice ones with aggresive patterns from Maxxis, there are a lot of good choices, i think.

BFG......Tour. Be sure "Tour " is on the end of something like B F Goodrich Long Trail T/A Tour ... are fantastic. No more trailer whipping and take up to 51psi when hauling heavy. Very responsive tire.

I run the Geolanders and love them, great all around tire. For more of a mud tire I like the Maxxis Bighorns. A few of my buddies run the Toyo mud terrains and they look killer but I have never been very impressed with them off road. I have gone just as far as them and they had to throw chains in the same areas as I did. and I spent a hell of a lot less on my tires.

I'd be interested in which T-case you are running as well simply because there are so many that did come stock in the Bronco over the years. I am intrigued by the idea that there is yet another unit that someone made work in this application.

BTW, with the gearing done right, 35's should do nicely under a slightly (4" and in some cases less) lifted 94.
