Thats it? I thought yours was a lot taller then that, mine up front right after the camburg coil install was 40" with my 32" tires. Its settled to 39" but still...

didn't you say you knew a guy for free labor on the gears? The gears themselves are pretty cheap.

No 33's would look about perfect imo. You don't have the sheer epicness as with 35's but 33's are vastly more practical/smart to go with. But if you got the money go 35's and regear with a locker

they will probably tell you to add the shipping charges shown on tire rack to the price of all 4 tires.

$236.28 for shipping on a set of 4 lmao
