    Yah I like those, my dad has them on his 250, in the 285's. They seem to be a great tire, there practically brandnew. Prob like 4 months old. Theve worked great so far, so i would recamend them. The only thing I rember him saying was, they were very heavy to balance or they required more weight than he would have thought. But it could just be his rems or somthing like that. I my self am thinking of putting some maxxis bighorn mt's on my truck. I like the look of them and being a 2wd, i like to get all the extra help in traction I can. lol

    Yea i feel ya. I need a TON of traction haha, there's no weight on my back tires. I wish i had a locking rear end or something so both back tires would pull. That'd do just a wonder in keeping me from getting stuck

    dont do the spingtech kit honestly. its a low quality parts and for almost the same money you can get a fabtech 7.5"

    Not to be...whatever but where are you finding that lift that cheap? You kinda struck my interest in em but they're dang expensive compared to those spindle lifts

    dont do fabtech theyre 700+ new just for spindles. doetsch is your other option.

    the fabtech runs around 1200 and the RCD like mine is 1500 but both are much better kits and will look alot better than a 7.5" spindle lift and coils etc
