so yesterday i got a set off 33x12.5x15 general grabbers, they're well used and came mounted on a set of chrome 15x10 rims with a 4"offset, for 150$ and idk why i didn't do this early, it looks BAD A$$, i can fit 35s but i think thats a little to much, haven't gotten her up to highway speeds yet, but I'm thinking this will really help with handling and stability.
ill get some pics posted when i can

yeah i still have to relocate my upper coil buckets, I'm thinking about gabbing some custom ones to bring them about 2" outward on the axle each side, just waiting for warmer weather for now they're working just fine, but i figure if i can return the bottom cups to stock, not flipped in, and bring the tops out more, it will help a lot with stability and handling
