And the big heavy tires won't be doing you any favors there.
So let us know the details on your motor.
One question I had was why are you taking the 3/4 ton axles out?

Im not dead set on taking them out I just really like the looks of these trucks with stock rally wheels. I guess if I found some wheels that looked ok with the 8 lug I may keep it like it is. Only 8 lug wheels i like are the 16.5x9.75 but those things are hard to come by.
