    Take delivery last month of similar spec. Differences to 280 wheel base, 565 hp 2050 tq, 18 sp ( wanted 13) and full lockers. Paid a tad less, but close. I didn’t order, I was late to the scene and didn’t want the electronic Dash. Congrats on the rig it sounds like you’re gonna be happy.

    If you go with the 3.36 ratio and the big rubber, the 11:24.5's? your ratio will drop down to 3.25. The baby will get over the rd. plus you will get awesome tire wear and better fuel mileage. Has many advantages. Will drop your RPM's back at highway speeds while running in overdrive.

    That’s what I would say is good specs. 24.5 rubber for with 336 if you stay with 22.5 rubber then go with 325. You will love it. Plenty of power there for the hills and good all around setup.

    I think 12 weeks is the cutoff. Anything closer to the build date than that and you’ll have to pay a change order fee.

    Be careful when unloading on a whole bunch of chrome and goodies. Might be wrapped up with a whole bunch of F.E.T. Best to get those things later
