Phil:
Understood and agreed. I wanted to let things settle a bit before tweaking. I think that things are pretty well settled in after a 4,200 mile trip... :-) Now that I'm back, I'm going to tweak it some and then have it realigned. I have very slight rubbing on my sway bar and the rear portion of the driver's side frame rail. I hope that shaving the (IMHO obnoxious) "DC" logo will eliminate some of that, but I suspect that the extra width is the problem. I bought these tires as an experiment - to see if I want them on my SUT, which will be heavily modified, but street-worthy. I'm thinking that I'll need wheels with more offset (1/2" - 3/4"), but the 13.50's fill out my wheel well now, and I've got extended fender flares, so I'll want to be picky on wheels, etc. I like the "sleeper" look - something that looks stock to the untrained eye... :-)
When you coming up this way again? My wife was chagrined when she learned that yours attended the dinner. She thought she'd be out of place there. I'm sure she would have enjoyed talking with y'all since she grew up in Corpus and since all our family has moved from there, we never go there anymore... :-(
I think you and I are in the definite minority of being former H1 owners (when they were jut "Hummers" - LOL)
