Thanks Dennis

I found a set and they are on order, should be here about the same time the spacers get here..... looking for a set of tires now, anyone got suggestions for a good all terrain, something that is good in the snow?

I have recommended BFG KOs all terrains to several people with no one dissatified. They are great tires and I got 75,000 miles on my last set.

i second this for a GREAT all-around tire. they even do pretty good in most rock crawling situations, unless the rocks are wet.

Just be aware that the KYB struts will not have the bracket for the vacuum lines to the hubs. Hopefully you've switched over to manual hubs anyway. If not, now would be a good time to switch over.
