I've worked in the tire business since I was 16, believe me, I know how to mount a tire. 
No amount of road force balancing will ever get me to put hard earned money into a BFGoodrich All-Terrain tire again. I bought a set when I was young and stupid, and now 5 years later they're in the corner of the garage with motors on them because that's all I found a use for them. I don't think it would be a stretch to say I've seen 1000 BFG AT's in my experiences of mounting and balancing them. Again, I say, it's unfortunate that they're so popular when there are many MANY more tire choices out there that ride smoother and balance better.

Well a little update: Got a CST front kit with new coils and A-arms. It will be good for 3" up front. Just going to use the stock shackle out back, should be level. Called up Discount Tire. They price matched Tire Rack, so i'll be getting the Bridgestone A/T Revo's for 166 a pc. in a 285/70/17. Should have it together in a few weeks. Ill post some before and afters once its done. Waiting to sell my wheels first, so spread the word, $800 for the set with tires.

As to the guy who doesn't like the BFGs must be cause he doesn't know how to mount them, 60K on my BFG MTs and no vibration at 90, dunno what to tell you.
Yeah, I must not know what I'm doing......for the last 17 years.....
Hmatiak, it sounds like you've got a well planned setup going, post up some pics when you finish.

Welp, got the 285/70/17's on. NO LIFT at all. Took of the 20's and put on the stockers with the new tires. No rubbing at all. So i've got a 3'' front coil kit if anyone is looking. Here are a few pics. Went with the Dueler Revos.
