The 33's that were on there were a hazard to me and people around me.
I got these from a buddy, at a ridiculous price, goodyear wrangler 235/75/15 with 5000 miles on them.
Still sad looks kinda wimpy now, crawls in a corner and hides.

Thankyou, and I will get her back up.
The only good thing, is I forgot how good a 4 liter runs when geared right
And gas mileage is pretty nice to.
Since I lowered it my front driveline hits the exhaust under hard acceleration now.
I even changed motor mounts today, not as bad but still hits

Wait....Do you mean that you put back the stock suspension??? I'm pretty sure that you just meant that it's lower because of the tire diameter being smaller, but I'm just checking.

It still looks good. I'm glad you did the right thing and got rid of those rotten tires before something bad happened.

Ya deff nice call to get rid of the bad tires. Do you have a discount tire around you? They are getting me 35" for only $815. That's everything Mount, balance, life rotation, they will repair or replace any tire that goes bad to quickly, and they will even cut my foam filled tires off for no extra cost!
