    Oh yeah haha I'm not complaining at all. This is actually the first time I've ever got a refund. I've always owed a little bit each year, so this is nice! Now I just have to work on the shipping method and I'll order the lift hopefully before the end of the month

    Yep that's the plan. Still trying to choose between the 882s or 883s. I'm putting the AAL in with the dakars in the rear so I don't want to be too ass-end high. I like the raked look but not too much of it. 882s are taller than the 883s, but the 883s handle more weight. :confused:

    All you guys with your tax refund talk....makes me sick. This year we breathed a heavy sigh of relief when we saw we only owed 7k, reduced last years in half :anonymous:

    My refund bought me six months of insurance. Haha. Wish it was bigger but I'm really happy I didn't have to fork anymore over.

    I'm going to be buying tires here soon and am wondering what kind of tires you guys think are good. I've been looking at the duratracs in a 265/75r16 and really like them. Anyone have any experience with them.

    I'm looking at the duratracs in the same size. They look awesome but The sidewalls worry me. Probably the best tire for year-round use up here though. I'd love MTs but I can't justify having them.

    I have duratracs in 285/75r16. I think? And I love them. Best tires I've ever had. I'm on my second set.

    No sidewall issues, eh? Are they load range C or E?

    Duratracs are a great bet. The only concern would be their susceptibility to sidewall punctures and tears when offroad.
