yea I might do that

seems like short wheelbase is more important than narrow track width so I wont even bother shortening them

the thing with having the 2500 gasser is I can just shorten it and I have the title

If your willing to make a lotta metal vs. Rock noise then 31's are much more of a challenge. I'm on 33's and think those are a great tire size for walker. I've been on stockers 31's and 33's, might be looking at 35'ers next.

well, she seems to run fine. some white smoke at startup, even if I have been driving beforehand so maybe some coolant is seeping in when its off.

no smoke while driving so I am not worried about it. still have the heater core to replace though *shudder*

lemme know if you guys go somewhere where 31's can clear :P
