I remember you saying they made the Dick Cepek Mud Country in a 38"... whats a half inch difference in overall height?

You got the right verb tense Brandon - I don't understand the rest of your question.

I mumbled something about a lower CoG, but the guy just repeated that a BL wasn't necessary. So who knows.

I will say close, but not perfect. I took them back to NTB after 5k miles and had a rotation/balance done since I bought their plan up front. I say they ride much better now. I messed with the psi in the beginning to get the ride I was looking for. NTB had them all the way up to around 35 which was too high and very rough riding. Think Im just under 25 psi now. They have worn extremely well. I did the chalk test to get the proper psi. After NTB filled them up the chalk was only disappearing high center on the tires.

BTW, which coilovers?

We couldn't tell where the correct trail was so we went off down in the deep stuff. Frankie was the guinea pig and got all muddy
