But they sure make up for a hell of a lot.

Cut the fenders, low center of gravity FTW.

Ya only if your burring your truck to the frame then ground clearance helps. But a locker will always help. Even if you are sitting on the frame.

Lol. I wasnt saying they are a bad idea. Im going to run lockers front and rear. All Im saying is sometimes big rubber is necessary. A lot of the stuff Im doing I couldnt clear the obstacles on 33's. The truck is too long and would high center very easily. A locker would make absolutely no difference if the tires arent on the ground. I need a minimum of a 35 and most likely a 37 to make the runs through the canyons I frequent.
