Too tight of voids. Then again like I said that's compared to TSLs

Went up crown point today, lots of ice and some good powder. Too much ice to really tell if the claws are any good in the snow, but I may end up cutting them up some more

I'm finishing up my lift install right now, but I'll post some pictures afterwards. I have a build thread but there's not many glamour shots

Here it is with the new springs and shocks installed. I also ended up putting Pro Comp sway bar links in as mine snapped off at the bolt head. Ha! Drives good so far. Still using up the tread on those street tires, as they have tons of life left in them.

Well Baja Claws officially suck on every terrain (other than street...lol)
The lack of any lateral traction makes them terrifying on slick roads, even grooved how I did mine. So my next day off will be spent turning them into snow tires to get me through the winter, then I'll get something better
