Question 1: I just ordered the Frankenlift Premium II. I plan on pounding the pinch welds. What's a good tire size?

Question 2: What would a good recovery kit consist of? I already have a 30' and 15' strap, two 1.5 ton blocks,and a 2 ton cum-a-long. I need a good rope to use the blocks (any suggestions). And is there any other items I'm missing? An ARB bumper with winch would be ideal, but that's a little pricey.

Found this chart in one of Sandracer's old posts. With the Franken givin' me approx. 2.5" and doing the pinch weld mod, do you guys think goin' with 32s is too much?

Plenty of people have run 265/75/16 (32") with the franky and some fenderwell modification. You will more then likely need to regear though and usually out of price range for some people.
