whats the rim size? im thinking of changing one over to civi stuff also. the 1100's are hard for me to keep up with. the mil tires wear very fast and dont take nearly the weight and speed that a radial will. and for the M819 the 1200's are nearly impossible to get!
If your lift towing why not pull the shaft at the front drive? just pull the one end and tie it up. only takes 5 mins. takes a lot of worry out of things. 60 miles? i would make the fuel issue workable if possible and drive it!
