Just do a direct link. And why not 33" tires? You have 3.73 gearing and a D44, which are both fine for 33s. And just a random fact....33x10.50 tires are lighter than their 32x11.50 counterparts, along with giving you an extra 1/2" of diff clearance.

i was thinking about a 4 inch lift and 33s but money is an issue so i'm going to go small for now and save up for a bigger lift and tires later on down the line

Let me be the first of many to tell you not to do that. Do it how you want the first time, or you'll regret it for a long time to come.

D44's were optional on X's. And nice color!

Post pictures of the axle. And please take a look at how much lift and what size tire I'm running....believe me man, don't overemphasize lift height. There are guys running 37s on 2" of lift....it's all about making it fit, not just lifting it higher/raising your center of gravity. You will have plenty of room for 33s and a 33x10.50 tire will be cheaper than a 32x11.50. When going with tires, go as tall as you can go for your current budget and lift height. You've got the room and 35s cost a lot to run correctly. I would highly recommend SKIPPING 32s and going to 33s.

Oh well if you got a good deal, there isnt much of a difference. Some 32's are just as big as some 33's. You'll still look awesome!
