Any progress?

Well, rear spacers are ordered and now I get to play the waiting game lol. Waiting on next paycheck to get the Rancho's. Then I have to try and snag the tires I want. A lot of hurry up and wait going on.

Also, did you get forged torsion keys or polyurethane? wondering what the difference is between them.. besides price and that one is basically plastic..

My torsion keys dont have bushings or anything, They are solid steel just like the factory ones. I wouldnt trust anything else. Just my personal opinion. I havent even seen any other form of them. That is a pretty vital part of your suspension.

If your on a budget for tires, I recommend going the re-tread route! You can get all 4 new for less then a grand!

my 35's cost me $1100 and I dont know about every state but in Michigan where we both live, retreads are illeagal on passenger cars/trucks. Semi's can't even run them on the tractor. They are marked as retreads on the side wall. Not to mention they are dangerous as hell if its regularly street driven. Dont you see retreads scattered all over the freeway? not fun at 75mph in a passenger car/truck. Just my .02.

Did you buy your tires online?

i bought the tires from 4 wheel parts and offroad (4wheelparts.com). They shipped them via semi right to my house. They are bias ply but its a toy not an every day driver so it doesnt bother me. 85% of the time its in the mud, 10% of the time on the street, and 5% on jack stands getting work done. lol

They're legal here in CO I actually ran them for a while when I bought my expy (50 bucks for all 4 from a friend). I was scared about the safety of them at first until I did research on em and learned that most of the myths Arnt true! I ran them till they were bald before moving on. I know I sound like a ****** sales man right now lol. But they really Arnt as dangerous or horrible as people make them out to be. Just tryin to help

I hope you don't Think i was trying to be an a-hole. I wasn't trying to be. There's not a cop in this state thats going to look at your tires to see if they are retreads, but... IF... you were to get in an accident or hurt someone as a result as retreads you would be liable not the insurance company. At least here. lol. That is a damn good price though I have to agree! Wouldn't be a bad way to go.
