Are they within the dimensions, if they are resized they could loose animation.

If they're resized upon upload, vB won't resize each and every frame in the amination, it will just resize the starting (or ending?) frame.

correct, if they are over the avatar size limits, they will be resized by vbulletin and lose animation

you can resize animated gifs there first for free, then upload as avatar
