Oh....alrighty. So your suspension was flexed out enough for that I guess? What are your plans as for as off-road mods? You've got some work to do before you can keep up with me on an upcoming ECX run. :hammer:

oh yeah i know that, im workin on my dad about a TT/shackle combo with some 265 BFG's. hes already said no, but ill get him to let me. lets see thats all i can think right now. when & where is the next run, and when do you think the site will be up?

Site will be up VERY soon. I thought I would get it up last night but I feel asleep while working on it.....Possibly tonight.....we'll see.

I am running that exact combo and I'm reasonably impressed with it. The BFG tires are top notch, no doubt about it. I've only been stuck once with them and that was because I was in mud bumper deep and it piled up on my hood.

If you want I can send you some shots of my truck for your dad to see. It looks pretty much just like yours, same color and trim and everything, except it's modified for offroading.

yeah that would be nice, also do you notice any more top-heaviness than before you did it?

Well yes and no......

Right after I got them put on the ride was so poor (in my opinion) that I removed both sets of anti-sway bars. So no with just the lift and tires it felt no more top heavy than stock. It actually handled a little better than stock due to the width of the tire and the stiffness of the sidewalls. But with the anti-sways removed it certainly does. But you definitely do not want to remove those anyway!
