You say there's no slippage now, but just wait until you get the headers on. It will be like you lost all that weight in the rear because you'll be slippin' all over the place!

lol, bet you get good traction with 700 pouds in the back. Holy crap. I put like 300 pounds over my rear axel and I don't have any problems at all. You might want to consider that too if your mileage goes to crap. I don't know what idiot told you mud tires aren't good in deep snow but you should go do a burnout on their face .Maybe you should hold off on the headers and get lockers. Then you'll really be a force to be reckoned with.

LOL I wasn't sure if it was too much or not, but I figured go overboard then take any risks! It's worked out awesome though, I never experienced one loss of control during this storm. It's just been a big test drive for me seeing how these tires do, and they've done great in everything (slush, ice, wet, thick heavy snow)...I actually like them. I also figured although it may be a lot of weight, I'm only going to have it on the truck while it's snowing out or while the roads are sketchy, but it's been great! Suprisingly, I have better gas mileage in 4 wheel drive and with the weight on the truck, wtf is up with that ?! Maybe when it's in 4wd, it can move the tires easier?? I'm getting a little over 10mpg traveling in 4wd all day yesterday, very strange, could also be because I didn't speed at all, the most I went was 50mph for short periods of time. Anyways, I have had a lot of fun just going through yards and **** with the truck, I cant get it stuck, it's sweet[8D]. Watch me smash into a telephone pull after I finish boasting about the 4x4 LOL!!
