    I know. The front settled a bit and leveled everything out.


    Great so far.

    There is definitely rubbing on a full U-turn. I did some minor flexing and there was no rubbing (as of yet)

    The power loss is noticeable. When i first got the tires on it felt sluggish. As of right now (few hundred miles later) i'm already used to it.


    Off road (mud) they held up great. Gave lots of traction
    And yeah they look bad ass. :D

    The tire is rubbing the frame indeed.

    The only concern would be the pinch weld. I have yet to cut it but i will when i get some time.

    Thanks.

    That's dope. I really like the gear they put out and what they're all about.

    Unfortunately my sticker is a little crooked lol it bugs the hell out of me and I've been meaning to fix it.
