    My point was either more mass or acceleration will put down the same amount of force.

    true. Being fat is also a major factor for it.

    I need to do something to mine...

    ok, im just kinda thinkin the shackles kinda act like leverage on the bottom of the frame/shackle hangers to bend it... i have frame plates welded on the bend but nothing to help the rear spring mount. i was thinkin of just a simple rectangle piece of 3/8 welded to the inside of frame right where the spring hanger is... i'm sure itd help some

    That's what I plan to do with mine. Plate it and just box areas that could use it like where my shock towers are and hangers and such.

    I stitched welded mine for the same reason and went back and filled in the stitches a few hours later.

    What is your review on the Hankooks? Are they wearing well and are you happy with them in different conditions?

    They are a soft compound so wear is not the greatest and also a bit on the heavy side. But traction is fantastic in all conditions I've put it thru. I'll probably get them again.

    Thanks for the review. I might be picking up a set of practially brand new (sub 1k miles) 33's for $600 on Monday. I've always liked the looks and they've gotten great reviews. Figured I'd ask you since you beat the shit out of your tires and wheel/drive in all conditions.

    What load range? I have 18 months on mine now and show no signs of wear, they literally have the same tread depth as new ones lol


    Have you taken them in snow?
