Planman!
I have my 4.88's and truetrac's installed & love it! Thx for the advice man! Btw, gonna stick w/ the 33's, plan on rolling w/ the D30 for as long as possible. Planning to at least gusset it & that should be good enough for awhile. I love the stout feeling of my rig now! Mpg's aren't too entirely horrible...headed to either Ouray or Bozeman this summer. Thx again!!! :-)

I agree with that statement 100%.
