How about bigger tires in the back? Can't tell what's on there, but I'll bet it could handle something much taller. Might be a easy fix. A set of Wilderness A/T's are like 12" wide tread (don't recall the height) and can be ground into WWW. A lot of times truck guys get rid of 'em before a lot of the tread is even gone. Just rambling....

thanks guys,, ,,

yeah sam was thinkoing the same thing, i got 31's on it ; if i could find some t35's would be enuff,, i put some more springs on the front gave me a little more, and also modified the trans mount,, so i got about anothe 1.5 inches , but 2 more would be great

 

[Rev Tex Devlle]

That looks great, Rev Tex! Hope you're REALLY happy with how all your hard work has turned out!

I'm always impressed to see what guys can do in a true grassroots environment (like their driveway).

Now drive the wheels off of it!
