Tommy may not have noticed (maybe he did, I don't know) possible differences in load ratings and tire brands. All of those things play into ride quality as does tire size. That said, common sense would say a C rated 33" would not handle a pot hole as well as a C rated 35".
-Tire size will also help with approach and departure angles.
-1" of GC is HUGE.
-Steering feel should be next to nil. Same. I've rode 31's to 37's on Toyotas. Only difference is you may spin the smaller tire size easier. Another reason larger tires are better in rocks, harder to break the coefficient of friction on a slippery rock.
-More rubber to wrap around rocks is a great thing, 35 >>33's... In these sizes, most are 12.5" wide.
-Gearing can fix most anything when powering the bigger tires. Saw dudes running 115HP 4runner and 38's no issues.
-Dana 44's or the Bronco equivalent are fine for 37's even seen 40's work fine. Two major considerations, don't abuse the truck with axle wrap or bouncing (shouldn't do this on any tire size), make sure your CV angles are good (diff drop?) Really be careful with 40's and that front locker on.... scary for me.
-on and on.
