Ok im not adding a leaf. Thats not an option. What brand would be best or does it matter i have 4 leafs now and wanna do a 5 leaf. I wanna get rid of the lift block as im sure its whats making my leafs sag along with help from shackles but i wanna keep shackles. Would adding bigger leafs add more vibration? Or should i go with a stronger stock leaf and keep blocks and shackles?

What is your budget for leafs ?

Good options would be the following

Deaver
Alcan
Rubicon Express
BDS
Rock Krawler
Old Man Emu
TNT Customs
Clayton Offroad

Default 10.5" 33" tires!

Just found a 33X10.5X15 tire http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.p...ort=P&dsco=135
I thought the narrowest was 12.5 at 33"
I'd much prefer this width so I wouldn't have to buy new rims
What do you think?

You will still have the run at full lock on the lcas like 31s but you can run them. Just adjust your steering stops.

Would anyone know a good site to pick up just one, 15x8 pro comp style wheel. Bent my rim and ive been running with a completely diffrent front rim of the same size but different back spacing. I think its starting to wear on my front end.
Looking for a pro comp or an American racing style black rim preferably under $50 as I see most sites at $55 plus. I think the back spacing is like 3.75 or something.
Thanks
