Post You BIG TIRE BASTARDS
You BIG TIRE BASTARDS have finally beat me down. I'm nixing my 33" KM2s in favor of a set of new MTR-Ks in 35x12.50R17. Happy?

To go along with the new rubber, Northridge is sending me a set of RCV axles, Pro Steer ball joints, and EVO sleeves; I've already got miniskids and gussets, so the additional hardware should make my Dana 30 more than strong enough to stand up to the 35s, particularly given my driving style (slow, deliberate).







BIG TIRE BASTARDS can gloat, you've finally won me over.

Everyday it always crosses my mind, I'm tempted to pick up 35's. This TF 3" lift gave me a hell of a lot more than 3". My 33's look like tiny

A month after the 35's are on you'll want 37's. Then you go wheel with guys with 40's. Then your saving for d-60's and a evo setup and..........
