750 is even a wicked price. I went to my tire guys and they price them at $242 EACH [:@]....and add mounting and balancing (which I get for free ) That was for the 33 10.5 15 the 12.5 added another $12 per tire, but the good news is upgrading to 35's was something like $23 per tire. All i need now is enough lift to clear 35's, oh yea and of course like $1,100 to drop on tires

You're forgetting a regear, those 3.55's won't hold up to 35's too well.

I did the 3" body lift and turned the torsion bars up an inch in the front to get an extra inch for leveling purposes. I run BFG AT 33 x 12.50 x 15 that barely scrub when you cut it all the way to one side or the other. Here is a link to some pics of it:

I also just ran dual 3" stainless exhaust with Flowmaster Super 40's. I will get some pics of that setup soon and post for yall. That really turned out better than I thought it would. Great sound too.

Bigdad,

I just put in 33/10.5/15 BFG A/T on my Durango. Go to Costco! $139.00 per tire and $11 to install. If you have a Costco close to you, you should check it out.

I have a 98 durango and want to try the t/s but when i asked 4wheel parts they said there discontinued. so any help on getting these? and i just need them for the front, unless i can put them on the rear along with airbags. but the guys at 4 wheel said thats all i could really do.

the t/s lift consists of cranking the torsion bars 8 full turns to give about 2" of lift int he front and then a set of shakles on the rear (i think the 2" lift blocks for out trucks also are drop blocks for the s-10 but im not 100% sure) the auto store should have the blocks
