bhennessee1,
I have a friend wanting to run the 33x10.5's as well. Do you know the actual diameter.

Look up how long cars have been around. Then technology from 500 years ago. Then the government's DARPA program. In 500 years, cars will be a paragraph in history books.

X2. If you asked what gasoline was 200 years ago they'd look at you like you were speaking Japanese.

I just have the 4" ones and my plan is to add a flat piece of steal on the u bolt plate... Might have to use 1" tube to make them effective but I haven't been able to flex it out yet

It doesn't compress enough? My shackle angle isn't all that good but I don't know for mine

My tires still have a good inch before they touch anything when the bumpstops hit the plates, I haven't checked my shocks yet to see if they have anymore up travel left in them. To should need just about exactly the same amount f bump as me, since we have the same tires, and we both cut and folded.
