Metallic lime green? Chrome springs would be a little overkill lol

Do they do a dark cobalt?

I used to like it, but it seems to have blown up over the last six months or so. Only lime green thing I've seen that I'd like to own is the Zone Offroad Comanche.

I could agree with that...

Because the BODY is lime green. Not random suspension pieces.

It just blows my mind when I see stock steering components painted bright colors.

Color matched, silver, or black. Those are universally okay cause it looks freshened up. Yellow, 'lime' green, 'WRX' blue...only if your rig is impressive.

The exact same tire I used to run. Excellent in all off road conditions and good road manners. I've got around 30k on em and still plenty of tread left. Only 2 reasons I didn't go with them again. Couldn't find them in 35 12.5 15 and no siping. With the snow we get in Buffalo good packed snow and ice control is important. They did good but I wanted better. If you get little to no snow near you they would be an excellent choice for a good price.

How hard is it to trim coil spacers? Is it possible to mark where i want to cut and then use a dremel & cutoff wheel to take off 1.75"?

I'd imagine as long as you put it in a vise to keep it stable you should be alright. Though the dremel might move to fast, get hot, and melt stuff. Try a sawzall with a metal cutting blade and just take it slow. And glad the tire info could help.

Although I know woth mine they have a cone shaped cut out on the upper side so that may take some work to re do.

Probably yeah, but I don't have one so I suggested the Sawzall.
