We're back from BC after a great trip and some tire issues. Blew another MPT-81 and had a new sent from Expedition Imports to the Alaskan factory in Washington State. The new MPT's have a harder rubber compound and would not mount on the wheel despite pulling every trick possible at a truck tire shop. We limped home to Colorado without a spare and now wondering what to do.
I have a new set of larger MPT-81's and need help figuring out how to lift my truck to fit these beasts.

Yep, and they want $400.00 a year to continue hosting your stuff. The really bad thing about it is, they made it retroactive so no one can see the pictures you have posted in the past either.
In my opinion, this constitutes a breach of contract/agreement on their part. If they want to start charging from a certain point forward that's one thing, but for them to hold the pictures you have already posted hostage unless you pay the fee, should be illegal.
Photobucket replaces millions of images with 'ransom demand'

I don't think anybody is! I'm betting there will be some kind of class action suit before long, once the lawyers figure out how they can make their money.
The bad thing is, a good part of the builds on this forum and many others are very much picture dependent, and won't make any sense without them. The same way with any how-to instructions or tutorials for wiring, finishing, etc.

One of the guys at the earlycj5 site just started this: http://www.beamingpix.com/ it isn't free, but for $15/year it might be good for some people. I'm not affiliated in any way, but I just thought I'd pass on a solution to stupid photobucket.

No kidding.
A thousand deaths isn't good enough for photobucket.
I only hope they go down as a textbook example of what not to do. And that no one who is responsible for this decision can ever land a job again.

Lift is on, front axle moved forward 1.5 inches. 335's and wheels on and work great! Alignment being done tomorrow.
I'd show pictures, but don't know how to now...
