That's a good look. I thought 33x9.50 were a thing of the past...no longer.............but, I guess I'll have to find some Kendas.

Give me another week, new tires went on, just changed shocks in front today to new softer valved bilsteins, moved the front stronger valved bisteins to back and disposed of the old rear shocks. Using daves rear ubolt flip gave me a little more length shock in rear. Need to check caster again then we will be testing it. Safety first! It needed some help. We had bad flat spots on the old tires that were unsafe. Just orderdered a new hurricane air heater valve to replace one that's leaking. Customers trucks keep taking priority. We should be able to make a highway and test track run shortly. We might order softer bilsteins for the back also but want to use what we have for now. But I can tell you shackle angle is great, it moves with the normal human test, jumping on bumper!
