flex pictures
Did you use any type of lift kit with the 33" tire. I want a 12.5" wide tire on stock 17" wheels (Rubi). I am thinking of 35" but yours are nice looking. And if no lift is needed it even more attacrtive. Thanks.

-Yeah I said chezzy that was as much flex as I felt comfortable with
As far as the FC II's go.....first reaction when they came off the truck was "Wow theses look so Bad azz, Buuuutttt they are gonna Howl like crazy!!" At low speed like 2mph you can really feel the luggs but at highway speed they ride out nice.
Noise wise I would say there is alot less howl than expected. I have a buddy that has BFG ATs on a 04' Chevy 2500 HD (same size 285/75/16) and even though I would say the cab noise is far less in the Chevy comparatively speaking. That being said both vehicles (windows Down) with 1 being stock tire noise, and 10 being "God awful" I would give the ATs a 3 and the FC II's a 4. Very acceptable IMHO.
Overall I have about 40 mi' I absolutely LOVE how it looks and Rides!! I do have a few concerns ..... 1. The new tires weigh 80lbs compared to 70lbs for the stock ones, there is a 1"space between the tire and the rubber grommet?

It seems very sturdy but I don't know if I need them to take the stress off the tire carrier?? any input on that would be appreciated.
2. I'm not sure what the backspacing is on these wheels (I'm trying to find out), the tires stick outside of the flairs by 2".....How big of a problem is that??? Is it legal?? I like how it looks but not sure how much of a problem that will be...
3. I'm afraid I will need a 2"BB to clear full flex... with how far the wheels stick out is great because there is no problem lock to lock, for daily driving it fine but when I do get it off road I'm afraid the flairs will take the brunt from the tires.
