You can get 1K for the set without issue. Wait longer maybe $1200. Check Ebay there are sets on there that are "new" for $1400 but they usually do not sell. The ones in the range of 1K or a little more sell.

My new setup was just under $1800 (mounted, balanced/tax), so almost a even swap

Thanks for the info. I might have to ditch the stock set for something with a little meat. I have never done the Ebay thing, I just have to lose my Ebay virginity....sounds worth it.

How many MPG did you guys lose when going from factory 20s to a 33x12.5 tire? I know the diameter isn't all that much different, but it has a much larger footprint.

Got a few new mods. Bought some tube steps and Magnaflow exhaust to go along with the tint I bought last week. I didn't want to go too loud so I bought the bigger muffler (XL). It's pretty nice, but does have a sick (not the"good" sick)sound when the MDS kicks in. I guess that'll have to grow on me. The steps aren't bad. Saved a few bucks and got Smittybuilt...they seem to work fine and I'm getting close to 300 bones.We'll see how long those last.

I would also get some Wheel Well Liners. You will love how easy it is to clean up.
