I disagree about the 33's. I've been on 35s with stock gears for three + years and never regretted it. The difference in cost is minimal I've been shocked at the improvement in performance, especially in the rocks. I've followed Kevin and others on 33s and consistantly walked over obsticles were they have struggled, and I certainly won't claim to be the better driver.
IMO, 35s are an excellent fit for an 80. The only downside I found was about $12 per tire, money I forgot about long ago.
