    Is that like the Goodyear specific WalMart tire? Looks similar.

    If it is non LT does it come with a tread wear warranty?

    "Mountain Snowflake" does that mean it's offended when it's in the mountains

    Little tech tip for the people who run OME rear springs and extended travel rear shocks. Their mounting location for the parking brake cable puts the cable in a bind. Drill and tap a new location that reduces the possibility of binding while at full droop.


    I'll add a second pic of the spacer and final location I settled on for that cable bracket here in a bit. It did load.

    Ok, so here is my final "in the shop" location. This guy will need to drive it to see if anything happens off road. His parking brake would actually apply in corners on the road as the suspension drooped out.


    Not too thrilled on the stacked washers.

    The forward location I didn't like how loose the cable was but still could be an option.

    I used a broker and ended up with Progressive as they were the cheapest of the 3 options the broker presented me with. It's been about 2 years so I should probably shop again
