jims70gmc i seen your pics and thats what made me go with the ground hawgs. we had a hell of a time balancing these things though,on the road they hop a lot and make a lot of rackitt but they are bias so i didnt expect a whole lot .i think i bought them at the same place you did @ tyres1.com. maybe after some driving the hopping will cool down

**JIMs70GMC** · 07-10-2004, 07:08 PM

It was a good deal. I think after shipping and balancing I have $150 for each tire. Not bad when they sell for 190-200 at most places. One thing I have not noticed is flat spots, the super swampers I had on the 70 had flat spots every morning. As far as hopping, I have rough country front springs up front and they don't give at all. Maybe you can vary the air pressure?

Browndawg71,those wheels and tires look great.They look to fit just right not to big but just right.

Schweeeet !! How much lift you got under it that is the perfect stance !! Mike

Destructo · 07-12-2004, 12:15 PM

Looks like 6" lift to me, I really like those wheels, I need some! I just have some black wheels because I didn't have the money to buy shiny ones, cost me over 700 bucks with black wheels and a set of new Dayton Timberline M/Ts.

Its A 4 Inch Lift But It Has A Extra Leaf In The Front And Rear . If You Notice I Had To Trim The Front Fenders Though ,they Are Rusted Out Anyways
