X2, They always say they are backorded that long...not one person i have ever talked to including myself waited more than 2 weeks for them...and like dukie said treadwrights have a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty.

Now what's your reason?
I meant I wouldn't have a warranty on the craigslist tires

Thats all the more reason to get treadwrights...the wait is well worth it for the tires...my father in law runs the wardens(bfg look-a-like) on his Ford F250 and he drives 40 miles of gravel every day, and i am amazed how long they are lasting, and i've ran the gaurd dogs with near same results....great tires and from personal experiance they are just as good as any new name brand tires as for life, traction and reliability.

Haven't installed yet, but I'll be putting 33s under my 3" lift. Lots of trimming, though.

They have an FAQ on their site:
Can I send you my tires to be retreaded?
We will take a customer’s casings to retread only if they are local to the production facility. Due to the cost of shipping it is not cost effective to ship your tires, have them retreaded, and then shipped back. We can only retread the tire sizes shown on our website.

I wouldn't call Colorado Springs and Jacksonville local to each other, regardless of tire size

I didn't read TW's full history, sorry. So they're in SD now, but the point remains valid.

My question is, with this combination, what is the best tire size to go with on some black steelies that will prevent rubbing, let me flex out the suspension, yet fill out the cut out flares in a respectable manner?

Also, will I need to do a Transfer Case drop and Pittman Drop for this kit? And anyone have any feedback on how the kit is?

Thanks for the help. College student on a budget, just trying to feed my addiction.
Anyone have any info for me? It'd be much appreciated
