    Most places dont advertise them. Its generally a made to order item. In standard form they have a compressed length of 15". They have an externally threaded top cap. ADS stocks them for me so I don't have to wait for them when I sell a LT kit

    Besides the Gnar factor. They are very light in comparison to other tires.

    A 35" Project T/A is 63.6 lbs

    A 35" Grabber is 81 lbs.

    We have a set of 35x17 DOT projects for sale with about 100 miles on them. $2400 OBO. A tech in the back ran them on his F150 for about a week, then bought a titan.

    Three tires I would never run on a truck I drive on the street. I guess if looking sick was all I wanted I would pick them up. Guess I'm a performance over looks type of guy...

    The T/As and the Grabbers I agree with you. I disagree on the Hankooks, but I'm biased.

    What do you like to use on a street/DD play toy?

    Thanks for all your help guys! So if I was going to try for some 6" travel shocks, what am I looking for with the Eye extender to help me clear the CV's? I haven't seen anything like that so far.

    As much as I love bfg, I'm switching to the Toyo ATs because they wear much better and balance much nicer

    Good to know man! Thanks for the link. I think I will give this up now though. Just went out and took some measurement and apparently I measured the coilover droop length wrong before. With the 5100 both in and out, I measured 27.25" at full droop so it is my light racing UCA limiting my droop not my coilover like I had previously thought. No point in buying 6" C/O's just to upgrade to 8's or 10's when I go to an LT kit a year or two down the road.

    Thanks again guys!

    so if they were different tires, for a different price? seems legit.
