    Ya it helps with the right tire size unless you REALLY plan on lowriding

    Driving on rims would certainly qualify as lowriding! :biggrin_2559:

    Wonder what the rolling resistance would be:biggrin_2554:?. I could weld scoops in that are lower than the rim lip and have great off-road traction:biggrin_25523: Might make my hiway use tax go up what with the grooves I'd cut along the way.:biggrin_25521:

    Ok, sorry for the delay but I had to run to NC and back between posts :biggrin_25518: lol. Delivery date for me is not yet finalized, the company will be getting 3 units that are speced allmost the same as what I'm looking at only they are running the C-13 cat motor. (These 3 and 15 others were supposed to be here in September 07 and we are now in the end of Feb yikes!) The transmission will be the Eaton 13spd ultrashift. (no clutch) and I found out that all the parties got together and the trans is supposed to be matched perfectly with the rears and the motor for best mileage and performance. I will likely be getting a mid-roof as I will be pulling a flatdeck, I was considdering getting a roll-tite but have since found out that it would limit what I could haul due to the 98inch height. I will be sitting down with my company to discuss the finer details next month and will have a better idea of timeframe then.
