'O', by the way, I think your pushing it at 33" at full articulation without cranking the t-bars, but to each his own. at a 10-50 you may be ok, most people try it with 12-50's. There's alot of rangers running around with a 2" crank, and 33/12-50's. I only run a 32", it's big enough for what I need to do.

I have talked to a few guys on other forums and they run the 33x10.50s with no rubbing at all and some of them off road pretty hard.

If your getting the balanced and they are that big, have them use a piece of ruber on the inside of the itre to bing it into balance. the tried to tell me that having 5 whieght on my tire was normal. and these were big wieghts. it vibrated at highway speeds because of the inbalance from left to right side of the tire.

I have 3 weights on one wheel with my 31s but the tire shop is really good so I'm not worried.
