wow...i love my kumhos. chinese kunhos...GARBAGE...korean kumhos...QUALITY

if he has a 2wd...the biggest leveling kit he can get is 1.5" with stock control arms. the 1.5" is what i have and it gives about 4in lift in the front.

You could put a line of chalk on the tires(one line across the tire) and then drive forward. If its wore more in the center then lower the PSI, if wore more on the edges raise it. It should wear evenly.

I have no idea where my shop gets theirs but I have used Coopers in the past and loved them. This shop has just recently started to carry them so I am glad I was able to get em this time.

I can understand that. I have the ATR's since I don't do a lot of off roading. They ride great and look good to boot.

i noticed that mine looks funny without drive shafts.

imhotep, the shop probably thought they were right by airing down your tires.
when i got mine mounted the guy told me 32psi all the way around. i looked at the tires (bowed out from too little air) and asked him why only 32 in a 65psi tire. he said "look at the door sticker, that is what you should have in them." I should have brought him out to the truck and showed him the tire size that the door sticker is saying to run at 32psi. but i didn't because i have a short fuse when i get off work and arguing is a good way to light that fuse. i just aired them up when i got home, 50psi in the front and 42psi in the rear.

I kinda figured that they thought they were doing right. The front tires are very bowed out so i will have the aired back up. No big deal, just gotta stop on the way home.
