My poor truck is sitting on a Nissan spare a a Toyota spare and two low rider deep dish wheels. it looks horrible(pics to be added). I just sold my 31s soon to have 33s to add to my lift. I sold the 31s to a guy with an 00' Blazer we put them on and they rubbed everywhere, we had to crank up his torsion bars two turns and then finesse the fender that was pushed in with the good old BFH, it doesnt rub anymore so no my tires are gone and new tires on the way. I had to send my springs back to 4X4parts.com becuse I needed the towing springs I had to deal with Volrick over the phone. He is not very pleasent and they still have not sent me an Email so I can return the springs, on top of that I called after sending an Email last Friday they said he would return my call on Saturday I ended up calling this Monday and he said he couldnt find my file so he didnt call me back?! I should have gone with Calimani. I will be calling again.:(

I feel your pain, but aside from Eric P, I don't really know of anyone who has had a painless experience with Calmini. Next time you call 4x4parts ask to speak to Jane, she is MUCH better to deal with.

Unless your dropping probably $5K or more on anything, you probably won't get perfect treatment- it's the VAG (VW/Audi Grouppe) aftermarket is too.

Sure offer them back to me one day and than the next...JK. My old rims have a lovely set of BFG Long Trails. Ditchfinder, at least you would have a set of matching tires and rims to roll on for a while.

Mike is selling all sorts of things of that dock. As a convenience store clerk once told Chris...shady!

I have never had issues with AC, I have never dealt with Volrick.

thanks for the offers guys, I just scored four BFG mud Terrains for a $100 a tire 90% tread life. I got five 33x12.50x15s. A good way to start the day. I still have not got a email from AC yet its really starting to get on my last nerve. I gave those sobs my credit card and am also placing a second order, and they still wont reply to me. You would think customer service would be a top priority with a small business.On another note. I keep hearing about shady stuff off the back of that dock. "can you get me a new TV?":D

I suddenly feel the urge to cruise Federal wearing a sombrerro while listening to to polka music. My poor rig. I drove it in the snow today, four wheel drive doesnt work do to different wheel sizes front and rear. I will be mounting the tires this week here are the rims.

I really like the offset wider tires without having to worry about spacers.II will post more pics when I put them on with the new 33s.
