Ohhh...you have such a nice rack...

 

Just wait until you see the D1/D2 rack. I've got it in my head and need to get it in the bender.

Thank you sir!

Had a couple hours this morning(3 to be exact). TerraFirma lift is on all corners now and new MOOG 344 U-joints on front prop shaft. I still need to fully bleed the brakes and swap U-joints and flex coupler on rear shaft.

I got about 3.5" of lift (from the worn out state my rear springs were at) on the rear and about 2.75" on the front.

Now to decide on what tires and GET MY A$$ in gear on ARMOR...

J you did replace the centering ball on the front shaft to correct? If not be sure to do that as well.

 

B, I don't have a DC/Hookes joint.

I'm just not sure what tire to get... I have ruled out the re-treads due to several bad reviews on other forums.

Not being a cheap-a$$ by any means... but don't want to spend 1000-1250.00 on 5 tires..

I found these. They look like a MT knock off, 10 ply and come in the 235-85-16 size I want and prefer.

$840 shipped for 5

 

A local has those, very loud, low tone.
I went Treadwright as I was very gun shy about the D1, still a little gun shy to be honest.....didn't want to over invest in rubber. After all the Treadwrights I've owned over the years, never felt the need to write a bad review. Again the biggest reason for my purchase was.......the unknown dependability of the rig purchased, longevity...

 

Understand, I'm not too worried about the noise. More interested on the traction aspect than anything. I like the look of this tire.
