cool, thanks. Hadent gotten that far yet. usually there is a detailed catalog available if you look for it, but for some reason procomp doesnt seem to do that.

I find that rather annoying, and frankly it puts me off a bit. I do a lot of research before i buy things, and WEIGHT is a huge consideration to me. the Jeep is a fat pig bone stock, adding weight i do as a very careful decision. I dont want to wind up driving an M1 without the fungun.

too true. i have stock moabs and 33" Coopers and they are HEAVY for me to lift now after the chemo and surgeries. i struggle rotating tires. getting the spare off is easy, but getting it back up to the tire carrier is a real fight for me now.

Why not go with 16s and a light 33...??? I think they look great. And just so you know Toyos are known to be pretty heavy...
