it takes more time to get that big tire moving and you wonder why u have bad accelration 33 w 3.55 that a high gear with 33 4.10 is better than u could do 35 no problem.

if you want your tires to stick out,get rims with something like 4.5 backspacing. thats what makes them stick out past the fenders. i think the stock backspacing is like 5.75.

but the backspacing just basicly move the lugs towards the 'inside' of the tire. how would that effect the steering? cause i got very good steering right now and i kind of want to keep that. what size sawsall blade would i need type deal. like you probably know. i will be putting the tube bumper on so i cn cut that down to fit.

i didnt even catc that. i will look into tha but after buying the motor and trans from him, and having him drive them to me. i m alittle low on money. besides, i think if would be better to things like that new and get them with the truetracs and have the whole nit professionally installed
