Yup, Quit looking at the Squirrels and start looking at the finish line son
Consider that done sense it has new bushings, thanks guys.
Usually I'm one to say just get it on the road like Brandon is saying, butttt.... To run 56's isn't the age old routine to just swap the flip brackets from one side to the other and run 6" shackles? If it were me, I go to the local pick-n-pull and get some 56" springs out of a late 80's 3/4t burb and throw them in with the flip brackets swapped around.
I'm pretty sure this is what a buddy of mine did and he raved about how much better the ride was in his 78 1/2ton pickup.

Thanks for posting. That's exactly what I need. I put LED lights in the K5 for high-beam and turn signals and they were way too bright.
No problem, I just dropped the wheels off I'll have tires on a hour. Should be fun putting 4 35's in a exterra.

Get you one of those cargo trays that plugs into a hitch. I brought home a set of tires on my Amigo thusly
Discount tire says the wheels are to narrow but will still warranty the tires but they will not mount them.
Looks like I'll be mounting some wheels before work closes.

Those wheels are too narrow for that tire. I had issues with my 285/75/16 tires on those wheels.
You'll learn what low tire pressure is though. I think I ran 30 front and 25 rear unloaded on my d-max when I had those wheels.

Oh well. If they turn out to really be just to narrow for that tire, you should be able to sell them for just about enough to buy a different set of wheels.
If you work in a shop why would you pay discount tires to mount your tires?
The tires are a 315/75/16 they mounted just like they look the same unmounted.
I have them at 30psi right now jammed packed in a exterra.

Stuffed.
Nice. I got myself a set of those as well for my blazer. Just looking for wheels to mount them on.
wait, so who mounted them? And they look fine from this side of the screen
I mounted them while my buddy balanced them at work. They didnt suck in any more then when they were not mounted by eye.
that's what I'm saying, they look fine, better than having too wide of a rim and balloon looking
