I like the idea of these arms. I just can't get over the price. I mean that is 3417 miles of driving at $3.50 a gallon. I'm actually thinking about ditching my 315s and going back to 285s. Save gas, get rid of the spacers, and get some ride quality back. Not that my ride quality is bad, but after driving some stock rigs recently they do ride better.

Yep I hear ya. If you don't need 315's/35" it just doesn't make sense to go bigger especially from a cost/performance/issue perspective.

Christo advised me 3-years ago: "Make 33" the max tire height and everything is easier/better overall". But OTOH I do like the additional flotation and height the 315/35" give me in the terrain I drive it...but cheap it ain't .
