Man I hope so, lol. I just got my new plastic welding rods today so I can finish repairing the bumper. I already repaired the hole with spot putty, no the cracks, sand and it will be ready to paint.

They have more than my Nitto's did, lol. Profile tires are usually 10/32 in the center and 12/32 on the outer. They are supposed to provide all weather traction and be great for launching. They are expensive.

Either that or run the leaf under the axle vs over. Do you have drop shackles on the back now?
