You say you need tires bad but then go on to say you think you can get another year out of them. So which is it? If they can last another year then you really don't need them that bad. Its really simple. 2/32nds of tread or less then replace.

I think you should have your trail arm problem fixed, and your trackbar relocation addressed.

Also, what are your plans for a new lift? I recall you saying you weren't happy with your coil spacer; you said something about it clunking when you stop? If you bought a new lift, would you try to go higher than it is, or just a different set-up? To me, changing the lift is fine; but is something that can wait.

If it were me, I'd fix my problems first. If you think you have some time left with your goodyears, then addressing the other issues should be dealt with. Then you can treat yourself to a new set of tires when everything is taken care of.

Yeah, I ordered my 3" Rough Country lift from Top Gun Customz. Two weeks passed and no email for shipping. When I called, l was always on hold forever and never got an answer. Finally after three weeks I find out part of the kit is on back order from Rough Country. But a rep actually did call to tell me that. There are people are very nice, but there communication skills are lacking.
