They look like the goodyear wrangler authorities. You get from wally world. I am getting the same tire :-). My buddy here at work says they work GREAT IN MUD and hes only got stuck once. He said there is some road noise since its so close to a M/T. But it is in fact an A/T.

The tire IS ONLY sold at wal mart cant get anywhere else and for 15" THEY ONLY come in 31/10.50/15

Front's basically done.. the bar pin eliminators were wrong so I'm gonna have to run the stock shock up front until I can get a new set in.

Ok I'm done. Had to use the factory height shocks up front, going to order some new front shocks on Monday.

Anyway, the clearance is a lot closer than I imagined it would be. I know most tires do not measure true to size so without measuring I'm going to imagine these are a little larger but we'll see. Here are some pics.

It's a 3". 3" Spacer up front and aal in rear. The instructions said to remove the factory bushing from the front but that would have gave me an extra .5" or so, any reason why I had to remove that?

I'm on the lookout for a decently priced 3" spring pack for the rear. Was going to go with a bastard pack but from what I've seen it's a guessing game as to how much lift you'll get from it.
