We have a harbor freight here, but I've never seen the coupons. Are they in your local paper or something? I need a lower jack too, Walmart has a low one for $44, but not sure if I want the cheapo Walmart one.

Harbor Freight is often unanimous with disposable tools. They run 20% off coupons locally then if you know someone that works there you get another 20% off. Save your receipts for lifetime replacement on hand tools! Agh, I am going to run up such a large bill there haha...

In other news, I think these will be staying for a while. Have some rear camber work to do today and need some spacers for the fronts but otherwise I'm happy for now

245/40 isn't that bad of a stretch. You can notice it a little bit, but its not like putting a 215 on a 10 or something crazy like that. I run the 245/40s on my 10s and have no problems with them.


And in other news, a new set of RS-D RSs from Advan might be in my near future(aka Christmas). 18x10 +25. Now just to debate between 245/40s again or 255/35s.
