    yea. the all-terrain tire is a good tire. serves well as a road tire and does pretty good on the trails too. i just like how a 33 fills up the wheelwell WAY better


    thanks man! much appreciated

    Getting the original shackles off is a bitch! I used a sledge, angle grinder, a pry bar, a few other random tools and a lot of swearing. The upper part of the shackle that bolts to the frame is the hardest part, I was beating on it pretty hard with a sledge for awhile and it would barely budge. Good luck man!

    I guess it could go much easier since you're in GA and I'm in Ohio with roads being salted over the winter.

    Was the bushing fused with the shackle bolts and the leaf springs when you swapped your shackles?
