Boner- I was just kidding. Next time you see a Max post, ask him if he fears the 8 x 8?
Jack-At Highlifter.com, they have a picture of them. The lugs make it look like a "Rubber Buzzsaw". And, I totally agree, they are for someone who is in the bog most of the time. Not for trail riding or rock crawling. They are definitely not for everybody. I would run them some of the time and put the original tires and wheels on the rest of the time. I run a lift and 25" vampires on a 300 Honda now and just want to uprade to a Rubicon and, of course another lift and bigger winch and bigger tires.

I was joking too.

I am also thinking about getting the 28's, but only if I can get them for $100 bucks(each) or less. If not I will buy some 27 inchers, maybe used ones from the guys upgrading to 28 inchers. (I will have to wait till after X-mas so I can get some money.) I was planing on useing my stock tires for hunting season any way.

Arctic Cat 500, Oh hell yea!!!!!

I will not get the your Vamps on the front because i can't fit them without rubing the shocks. Right now I am talking to someone who wants to sell me his old 26x12x12 TSL's with aluminim wheels for $450. Since the TSl's are the stock size (true size is 26.4x10.5x12) they will fit with out rubing.

If I could get the money I will buy your Vamps and fab up a lift kit that would move the front shocks in so they wouldn't rub.

The prices that I have got so far were in the $130-140 range from Interco and Highlifter , but no quotes.

How far from your house to Rayne? You ought to just ride up there on your AC and tell them you want the "outlet price".

Boner-The local cycle shops here want $135 per tire. There is a Discount Tire here and a place named Miller-Bowie Co-Op (sells farm equipment). Both sell Interco and the rep was to come through this week. I am going to try and call Sat for prices.
