Torsion bar crank is a good idea - maybe a 2" lift as well?

It's a hard line, meaning it can't be easily moved, but it has rubber foam insulation to prevent too much chafing. Put ATs on it last year (replacing the mudders) but still rubs a bit on left side.

You can run 33x10.50s on the newer ones but I'm not sure about a 99. I have an 04 and I can clear 33x10.50s. I have 32x11.50s on it now and no problems so far except if I hit an angled incline really hard and compress the front suspension all the way, then it rubs for a split second but no rubbing during normal driving.
