Default Finally Installed Doetsch Spindles

After spending all of my weekend in the garage my dad and I finally got my 3 inch Doetsch lift spindles on my 2001 Ranger xlt. Soon to come are some 31's and some belltech shackles

I was thinking about some Cragar Soft 8's for my new rims. I want some black, decently cheap, but still pretty strong and good rims. Are those what you guys would recommend?

Yup they are a good rim and 50 bucks a pop isn't bad

Tread style, price, brand, agressiveness, and good street and off road performance. I want some good all terrain tires but just want something different than BFG's

----------

I'm referring to toyo open country AT II's

i noticed when installing my new spindles that they dont have spots to bolt on the disc guards. Is it super critical that im driving my truck without the guards to protect the back side of my rotors? has anyone come up with any type of solution for this?
