Here's the whole article whole article with pics and info:

The "sky high rockcrawler look" is definitely gone (although I'm sure some of you with 10" lifts and 38s are laughing at that statement <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) but I'm happy with the 33s over the 35s. The difference on the highway is noticeable. RPMS @ 60 mph gps, is 2900 rpm. About 100-150 higher than before. The truck will never see much above 70 mph so that's not an issue. The negligible difference in tire height is made up by a nice new fresh set of MTRs and lower over all height for better off road stability. Handling is a lot better now and she's more of a joy to drive than before.

Total reduction in suspension and tire lift by the project, brought it down by about 2.5-3 inches. Suspension lift is now around 4". I'd go lower if I could, but I'm at my uptravel limits. This is pretty much it.

Bottom line, the vehicle fits the "expedition" role much better now than it did before, but can still tackle a trail or two, when needed. It's most important role is to get me to the middle of nowhere and back in one peice, however, rather than compete with the ATVs at the local OHV park, hence the reason I "detuned" it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

This is what she looks like right now:
