welp had to drop tire size down. the sx's were getting pretty bad and with no fullsize spare going anywhere had me nervous. so off they came, wasnt happy with those wheels anyways. for some reaso i just wasnt feeling them with the truck.

got a call saturday on a good deal on some 33" x-terrains with about 50% tread...a whopping $50 so i jumped on it

they look damn tiny, but took it for a drive and its like a new truck. made me realize how out of balance and beat to hell the sx's were.

should be alot better pulling the trailer also. but still a bummer going down in size
 
look alot smaller, not bad though. how long you plan to have these?
 
well the ranger is getting pulled apart for the SAS after the june 10-12 trip so they will go on the explorer since it will be the new DD.

would like to find some 35's atleast for the trip though.
 
rockwells! lol j/k

i hope i can find a set of 33's for that after my axle swap. the jerk that promised me a good deal on tires sold them last week..........
 
Well those will be a lot better on gas and towing, but I agree they look rather small with your cut fenders.
 
Which route are you giong to go? Leaf/RA/Link?

Details man!

I haven't decided 100% yet, but I'm thinking either a full 3 link for RA... we'llsee what I come up with

Well those will be a lot better on gas and towing, but I agree they look rather small with your cut fenders.

Yea theyl do for now, I've been driving it every day so a smoother ride and better mpg's is nice
 
its all sitting in the corner, decided the ranger would be better off with a solid axle. i may throw it in the explorer or i may just sell it all. who knows.
 
Think your wheel bearings will hold up with your spacers and those 33s?

The bearings held up to my 37's for over 8 months....As a matter of fact you are running those same bearings now, regular maintenance and they will have a long life :icon_thumby:
