I think it is a bit higher in the rear. Here are some better photos before the new tires in daylight.

Looks great, any rubbing with those 32s? Does it seem like there is enough room for 33s?

Spike-
265/75/16 I went to Belle Tires all 5 and an alignment was about $1,000.
DW--I had to flip the bracket that holds the inner line to the bottom of the front bumper. I saw it on someone else's post at some point. (See, I said to my wife, all the time I "waste" here comes in handy from time to time.)
I don't think you can do much bigger without having to start trimming. I still hear some light rub when I am in reverse at full steering lock, but it is just the mudflap on the running boards.
Also, the Rovertym 2" is not the same 2" that you get from the Terra Firma from what I understand.--You will have to let us know how your lift project goes.
Ylo--Thanks, I still wish it was short-bus yellow though!

DW-I also don't think you can fit a 33 on the factory spare mount even if you flip it, mine barely clears. You would have to drop another $100 on getting the spare relocator.

I thought that may be the case, I knew it was close anyway. You wouldn't snap a photo or two of the areas where its rubbing and how close the tire is to the areas you think might have to be trimmed? I'd like to go with 33s if it didn't require a butcher to make them fit. I'm hoping the Rte lift gives a bit more than 2", which would help.
