Default 33's on a p38a with 2" lift

ok so i am goin to get a set of 20" rims for street driving yada yada yada. but i want to take the stock rims and fit them with 33" tires just for off road. nothing else. proobably wont go faster than 35mph with them on if that. i am mainly worrying about the gear. any other suggestions of what i should do/add are very welcome.

one more thing. does anyone know where i can get the ladder that bolts on to the tailgate for access to the roof rack.

My mechanic runs 285/75r16 BFG MT (new ones) on his P38 full time on highway and off. I believe he used longer air springs by arnott and recalibrated his EAS.

He seems to get everywhere... kinda like a modern version of Jimfoo! hahaha

ok so i looked in google images and i found a picture of it, and a place that sells it for the L322 range rover sport. but im looking for one for a p38. its called a rear access ladder. weird that would have never heard of it. ive seen a guy that twice, once at arbys, and once passing my work, and he has a white p38 with a rear access ladder on it. i havent gotten a chance to stop him and ask him where he got it from, but i was just thinkin, would the one for a disco 1 fit on a p38? here is a picture of one.

yeah i figure because the back of the disco raises up, and the p38 stays level. but that one site has them for the p38, they are just outta stock.

heres the page

https://www.expeditionexchange.com/s...ndexmain.shtml
