Default New DuraTrac's Mounted & Rancho RS5000's

Got my Rancho RS5000's mounted up Sunday, rides awesome feels like a truck again. Snapped the stud on the radius arm upon removal, so had to drill out & replace like most of these forums say w a nut & bolt. Bought the shocks from Advance Auto, punched in the promo code, saved $50.

Today got my DuraTrac's mounted, I LOVE them. Their not loud, not rough at all. Very sturdy, look great I'm real happy with these so far. Out the door was $960 from Sears (on my Sears card) & get $80 mail in rebate.

Nice, I have the same shocks. never put the rear's on, the front feels great though..
And I like the wheels, was thinking about doing the same, putting them on my sears card =)

Looks good man. I've had my Duratracs on for 5 days or so and like them a lot. Had 5-6 inches of snow last night and they did well.

But DAMN! 960 bucks for them? You should shop around a bit next time. I dunno...maybe you did? But that seems kinda expensive. I got my 33's for less then that...

Yeah I agree a little steep, but after rebuilding the transmission in September all of my tire fund cash got eaten up. So I figured put it on my sears card 6 mo interest free and I get $1000 Xmas bonus at work I'd pay it Off with that. The tires were $182 a piece then I had a bunch of bull shit fees new York loves to hit you with for new tires. I also bought the road hazard plan from them for $80, figured if I'm spending that much on tires might as well have some kind of protection. I would have gone elsewhere but figured this was the smartest & it doesn't hurt for a 20 year old to build credit ( that was my excuse to my parents haha)
