All I'm saying is that bad things usually happen to good people, obviously Rich understood what I meant (thanks dude).

Yes the 33x12.50s now turn all the way without rubbing and have clearance. I know there is not room for flex but that will come in time with a lift.

What are you planing for a lift ( if your looking for lots of flex I recommend a Clayton offroad long arm kit 6in with an IRO custom Y link for the rear)

No I don't think right now that I am going that far with a lift. Just a little to open the fender well up a little more.

I think it would be neat to get a company or two to sponsor some parts for this thing. Maybe like a lift or something. Maybe once it is all done, paint and all, someone may be interested in this and then they could use pics of it or something. Idk just thinking. LOL.

Talk around when I got my racecar sponsored I would talk to companies and I didn't just talk to managers I went to owners. Like the district manager from monster was as high as I could get and I got all paint for free
