When did buying tires become such a pain in the ass?

Trying to find some 33x10.5 or equivalent.
Saved a bunch to my files. Now the sites, my files have all disappeared.
This new world bullshit hurts my brain...I'm taking a nap!
 
33x10.50 if a 15" rim is a odd size .

lots have now gone metric and 16" or bigger and not much new runs 15" or 16" anymore .

BFG is one of the few making tires (that aren't specifically off-road) in this size.

I think there is one more company that makes tires designed for street and offroad, but can't remember who. No idea if they still make them, but at one point BFG made a 33x9.5r15.

Edit: I see general makes a 33x10.5, and GBC makes a 33x10.

I was trying to avoid new rims and a lift this go round.

Bought those mickeys I posted in the other thread.
Still going to buy a rear lift, the stock sag is killing me!!!
 
what rim dia did you need 15 or 16? 16.5s are a waste of money might as well up grade to 17's
 
I was wanting of going 35" with 8 lugs so 16 or 17.
I just went with the 33x15 for now.
Just need to get it up and running.
They should be in next week.

Gotta have some 4" rear springs and shocks. The sag is horrendous.
Anyone have any knowledge on BDS springs? The price is reasonable...235/set

33's 2-2.5 will do the job, but if 35's are in the future then 4" for sure. No personal experience with BDS
 
4" will give it an even or slightly raked look. Like a 2wd. My 3/4 ton 2wd sits just right
 
I had bds on previous truck, was happy with them. I had 8” springs and they were pretty soft and flexed pretty well for being such a tall spring
 
Thanks all.
I have stock fronts I planned on putting on the K5...it was down 2" in the front and rode like a wagon.
I'll put them in the burb.
Need new shocks too. Again, I had 4 new Bilstein b4600's for the K5...
It never ends...
 
I blame the metric system lol
