we'll got them on...pain in the *** to balance...did the back two with about 2-4.5 ounces of weight on the inside and outside of the wheels and got tired of that so just did the front 2 static so they only have weight on the inside...might need to get them rebalanced eventually...also realized I effed up doing my torsion bars and the pass side is like half an inch higher so i'll need to get it realigned again to...maybe i'll do balance and alignment at the same time but other than that they look sweet aren't to noisy and ride great! haven't experienced any rubbing either yet except I think I hit the frame rail cranking it hard backing out of the shop. here's the pics my camera broke so I never did get any with it on the ground but I'll try to tomorrow

all I can say, is wow...

might want to look into why your old tires started siping though. New ones may well do the same otherwise.

i'm getting the front tires balanced with whatever they need tomorrow morning since we got lazy and decided to just static them like I said and also having tires plus also do a free alignment check on them to see if the first alignment wasn't done right or the bigger tires changed anything so hopefully that should fix that...idk if its the bigger tires gripping or just the awesome horse and buggy rut on the right side of the road in Lancaster County, PA but the truck was pulling right tonight I have a feeling its the gay roads around my house and the wider stickier tread but still gonna have them check it out
