Default Looking to trade down in tire size...

Hi,
I am finding myself using my '97 discovery more and more for towing, and right now I have 32" x 11.5 x 15 BF Goodrich all terrain TAs on. These 5 tires have less than 20,000 miles on them and are in great shape. I have a 3" lift, and when you add the weight of a trailer plus the size of the tires, they are cutting it very close to my fenders, so I am looking to drop to a 29 or 30" tire, rather than incur the cost of putting any more of a lift on the truck. If anyone is interested, I would be willing to trade straight up, for tires in comparable shape, either with wheels or without.

If there is any interest, I can post some pics...
thanks in advance,
Jon

Just an idea, what about adding a rear spacer on the spring to regain the lost height when you tow? They are $10 and easy to pop in when you tow. Easy to remove.

Rubber coil spring spacer

I may just have to try that first, less than 20 bucks, worth a shot! Thanks!
