Had forgotten about GY MTR 34s so it seems like a great option as long as the auto isn't dogged too much & OD is still functional.

Are the awkward shift points with OD on or off?

Hows the spare fitment & clearence? Any modification needed? (It looks like you had your BFGs still on there but did you try and mount your MTRs before putting your spacer on?) Thanks for info.

If its even relevant anymore, I am sorry for not responding in a timely manner!--the stock rims fit great w/the tires. Yes I run 1.5" wheel spacers to make sure no rubbing anywhere-the spacers are great, and very solid-no fear of hard off roading!- The 4:10's are plenty around town, w/or without O.D., the freeway however leaves a little to be desired. The tranny struggles under load from steep hills, or strong headwinds. You can opt out of OD, but gas takes a hit. Really no more than the tranny wandering thru gears though. In comes the Hypertech progammer-this will help out in setting the correct shift points, speedo setting, tire size etc...-and even some dialing in of efficiency and what not. I havent pulled the trigger on the Hypertech yet, bcuz of the news of the Superchip Flashpac programmer released just a couple days ago--waiting on some real world specs back to see which one I'll pony up for.

edit: I do have the full size mtr spare now--it fits fine
