OK, hopefully I'll have it on it's way today.

As I mentioned in my PM, I favor using a new stock-type clutch, as long as you're not adding much more power. I didn't however, consider whether you plan to run really over-size tires, which would definitely strain the clutch, and the rest of the drive drain - unless you make a gear change. Always so much to consider.

No, My tires , if my memory is correct, are 1in. wider and about 1/2 in taller. Gears are 3.54.
I agree, keep it stock, and I will go 11in. FWIW I think I could go 11&7/8 but I would rather the clutch be the weak link, rather then the transmission!!

Exactly what I was thinking. Also, I told you the flywheel was from '98 Dak, but it actually was a '99. Not that it matters.
