  1. Rides great. Tires are real smooth and quiet, but I find I have to have more pressure than I expect to (48-50lbs). I of course would have rather gone a bit bigger lift and tires, but for what it is, very happy. One word of advice... Make sure to tighten the rear spring bolts fully after its on the ground, otherwise you may have a weird squeak. Oh yeah and you will lose 3-4Mpg.
  2. I think its the way the pic came out, but it is pretty dead level front to back. The one thing i did NOT want was the front end even a little bit higher than the back. I guess I am a part of the "rake" crowd!
  3. Man that is sweet! What did it cost you to get the flares color matched? Also you need more Max4. God made hydrodipping for a reason!
  4. Nothing that I have noticed yet. No rubbing at full turn (even with the air dam on). I have seen others put a little bigger tire on the 2.5 level, but I can't imagine how without rubbing. I didn't have to trim anything and I'm happy with the size. These are my first duratracs. I got them after a lot of research and reviews. They are smooth, but surprisingly louder than the 37" nitto trail grappler MT's on my jeep! I don't have close to enough miles on them to make an honest review, but my first impression is louder than I expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Just some crappy cell phone pics in the driveway. Just put a RCX 2.5, 275/70R18 Duratracs, and OEM color matched handles and mirror caps. Oh, and I took the air dam off. I MIGHT chrome the wheels. Maybe.
  6. I gotta tell ya, I spent way too long fumbling with the fishing line, and I didn't really want to ruin a screwdriver when I wasn't sure it would work. So I tried my orange weed whacker (trimmer) line and it was the perfect amount of solid and flex to easily pull the "E" up. I cut off about 2 feet worth, pinched it a bit in the middle to get it onto the center of the E, and pulled it up. After I slid the handle in, I cut as much of the "bottom" of the excess line off as possible, pulled out on the door handle (as I would to open the door), and pulled up on the top line excess just enough to pull it through and out. I spent 30 mins cussing out the fishing line and all of the other various tools I tried, and the trimmer line took about 10 seconds. Also note that they aren't kidding about the T25 hex screws. ONLY loosen them just enough to remove the cap. I tightened them back up a few turns after I got the cap off just to be sure they wouldn't vibrate out until I was ready to put the painted cap on. The rear doors sort of have a "stop" for the screws, but the front handles didn't seem to, so I was sure to keep constant pressure with my T25 screwdriver on the screw while I loosened it just enough, then tightened it back up a few turns while I worked on the handle. It looks incredibly easy to have the screws fall into the door frame and be lost on the front doors if you aren't careful. I hope this helps somebody. As with most things, the first one takes 5 times and long as the rest of them. I could do a whole set in 5-10 mins now.
