    A lot of people like them because they allow for more droop.. which is great but if you properly set it up it takes away up travel and weight capacity. The way Dakota explained it to me is if you are at full bump right now, and draw a line from eye lit to eye lit the leaf pack will be perfectly straight because our springs are made for the inverted shackle. If you shackle flip then your leaf pack must go negative to achieve the same amount of up travel which destroys your springs.

    To get more droop you can get different bushings that don't tighten up as they are drooped, I forget which ones @jberry813 told me to get.

    3.5" BS?! thats going to be a big and wide sumbitch. You're either going to have to severely limit your turning and uptravel or tub the shit out of your firewall.

    Thats what I originally thought too but my only other option is SR8's with 4" bs.. So its only 1/2" wider

    May the odds forever be in your favor.

    I'm not a huge fan of Methods but i've been thinking of getting some to get the 4.5" or 4.75" BS.

    Right now I'm at about 1/4" to 1/2" clearance between my tire and spindle gusset so there's no way I can get more back spacing. And I really like the scs wheels but want to stay 16", so I'm narrowed down to SR8's with 4" bs, F5's with 3.5" bs -25mm offset, or now these with 3.5" bs. I've always liked the stealth 6's but they were only in 17", so this is a win/win for me.

    Thats pretty badass he's finally making the Stealth 6 in a 16"er. I'm on my 4th set of SCS wheels and being tempted to buy #5 continuously...lol.


    Which TC spindle gussets do you have?

    I know! I've always wanted the stealth 6's.

    Ones with a sway bar mount, they are really beefy. I probably could have easily gotten away with the ones w/out sway bar mounts but oh well.

    MTR's. They hooked up so well last weekend on the con, both going up boulders and down off ledges. I thought about the STT pro's as well but I just like these so much. No matter you can't go wrong with either tire.
