keep in mind my comments are all based on a comparison to a siped mud terrain...when used for only what they are intended for, which is no highway usage, the bfg's and maxxis's are great...i'm just putting it into perspective that very few of us have dedicated trail rigs, but alot of us run mud terrains...

They already have a new BFG MT design in the works, Looks very similar to the Krawler. Which if it performs anything like the krawler does,it will hand every other MT on the market their asses

i saw that, are you putting yours inside the coil? its about the only place that would work for me on the D30
I dont know the front fenderwell but it is 32" to the bottom of the door. its roughly 2" higher than when i tore it apart.
it was 11 from the tire to the fender, so that is 46" some im gonna say 48-49 inches now ???

A550-55 for the rear (double)
and
A170-55 for the front(single)
Im thinking of using bumpcans for air bumps to make them adjustable. would be pretty much exactly like this...
