i forgot to ask, how is the truck on power now? between the extra axle weight, wheel weight, tire size/weight, and slightly taller gear ratio, i would imagine that you've got some significant power loss.
i definitely had to turn up the fuel in my truck - it's ok now.
what's your...
that thing has a really nice stance to it. [thumbzup]
dang it!!! i just realized you're in J-town - i was just down there all this week... aua
btw - how do you like your brakes; have you been able to test them much yet? ready for that write-up and have more thoughts on 'kitting' it yet?
