Agreed on the tire choice. Love my Dirt Commanders, just wish I could have gone with the 29s like you bought, but being limited to my stock 12" rims forced me to go with the 27s.
I'm hoping to sell the 27s and buy 29s next year, but it'll cost me a lotta coin - last time I priced out rims and tires, it came in at $950

That is a lot of $$ for an extra inch of ground clearance, and I feel like I can make better use of that amount on other mods like power steering and a full, flip-up windshield - both are more beneficial than 1" of GC.
