aaron thanks for the suggestion but that just adds more work to it. I've wound up reanimating an old domain name and pointing it to a subdirectory in another web domain / forum that I own & admin. I've basically re-created my photobucket sub album structure there and am populating it with my original images which I created for uploading to photobucket. Images I already resized and compressed, but better quality than what Photobucket provides when you do a bulk zip download.
So I've been going to my old topics here and elsewhere and re-editing my image links to point to the new location. It's tedious, but it's working and I'm slowly getting most of my reference and how-to content restored.
For anyone else screwed by Photobucket, if you wanted to get your own website hosting plan and domain, you could have unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth and domain name fees for about $135 / yr. Since I already had that - and my host allows multiple domains on the same hosting plan, it's only costing me the money for the domain name. $8-15/yr.
That $135/yr solution would allow anyone to host pretty much anything they want online, without further hassles or 'subscription fees' or likelihood of a photo-host changing the deal down the road. $11/mo to 'own' your own stuff.

OK like a thousand others my photobucket account is suspended until I pay a $399 ransom fee to them
guys enough of the debate on photo hosting, the horse is dead LOL
so to combat them I'll just do youtube videos from here on out
...got side swiped last month which shredded the monstaliner off the drivers rear quarter panel, thankfully it wasnt dented
so here goes my video

My BFG TA KO's are almost 6 years old if you can believe that come July 2018
Im wondering with the 2.5" leveling keys up front and the 4" in the rear does anyone think I could get away running 35's 315/70/17's?
Ive been looking at these treadwrights ~ https://www.treadwright.com/products/claw-ii-c3117d?variant=2264688984085
or just go still with more: 285/70/17's in these Nankang N889 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFICUV...colid=Q9SFUN56OOAT&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
or these Westlake SL369 Off-Road Radial Tire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFIJY8...colid=Q9SFUN56OOAT&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
which look just like the kelly safari tracs I had originally on it
any help, ideas or suggestions welcome

Been reading a lot of varied stuff about Treadwright the last couple years, apparently they sold, new owners / operators moved the plant somewhere cheaper and left most of the trained employees behind. Not sure if things have improved since, been long enough they ought to have by now, bu tI don't know either way. Just suggesting you take a harder look at their situation before you go that route.
35s I think you will have to trim at the bottom corners of the wheel well opening. The openings are so vertical on the sides that the extra lift doesn't make much difference when you start getting into 35"++ territory.
