then do what i listed and take it EASY for the time being. that way you can gain ground on the project.

what tires do you plan to run?

4.56's and 33's isnt that bad either.

and trust me i know what you mean about retracing steps,

1. cranked tbars
2. added 285/75/16 BFG TA KO's
3. 3" body lift
4. Sold the BFG's 3 months later because they were too small still hand nipples on them
5. bought 36x12.5x16 Super Swamper TSL's
6. Broke front suspension
7. Put 1 ton axles and 40" tires under it

haha damn thats gotta be no fun. how exactly did u break the front suspension? i bet the shocks were MAXXED OUT like mine are right now. i get air going over speed bumps haha.

hmm and as far as tires im gonna be runnin those KM2s. i havent heard too much from em in person really because most my friends have ran toyos, mtrs and the older style kms. but i have actually seen the 35s i want on a olddd beater yota. and they are gnarly ha.

hmm also i have eagle racing 16" aluminum wheels. ive never exactly dealt with backspacing before but ive heard of it. i searched on the forum and it came up with a post with a website. its from the hub of the wheel to where the studs are correct?
anyway i can just go check online instead of measuring it. or can i not be lazy ha

and you really dont think 4.56s with 33s wouldnt be that bad? i wanna have some grunt but im not exactly thrilled about getting 8mpg around town. im getting about 12-14 in town with my 355s. ya i know im gonna get worse gas milage anyways but this truck still has to not suck it up too bad.

KM2's are nice tires, you wont have a problem there

Im not sure how you measure it. i know there a chart somewhere if you google search it. or just look up the wheels you have on eagles site and see what the specs are. all i know is less back spacing = further out.

Well if you care about MPG then i wouldnt do it, plus you kinda limit yourself on the interstate. but it can be done.

see what you can do on some 35's if they rub too bad set them aside and buy a set of used 33's until you are ready for them. try craigslist.

on those offsets is says BSM 4.625. im guessing BSM = back spacing measurement?
so i think if thats right im good there.

hmm and on the other stuff im gonna just keep tossin up my options. ones gonna have to land soon cuz i have 1 stupidly raw tire that i beat up when my ball joints were bad. so pretty soon im gonna tear into it and see what i get outa it. ill let u know what i come up with appreciate the help!
