hey azfab, are you saying that the airlift dominator is stiffer than the slam RE? I am looking for a stiffer bag than my firestones and was going to go with slams until I read what you said. I tried a pair of my buddy's slams and liked them but wouldnt mind something even stiffer without stepping up to the HE ($$$).

You might look into Nitto's new 20" drag radial they just came out with. I have already bought my tires, but man a 305 drag radial is what I wanted to begin with.

ill have to check that out, i had 275 50 15 drag tas on there they hook up very well! lol yeah nokidding there not cheep!! 1100 each. i need to start making billet wheels.

don't we all...I am trying to find the 20" drag cheaper online so Discount Tire will match it, so far ~284/tire is the I have found.

Did you have any issues fitting the front on the hubs, I know I kind of test fitted mine, and the wheel did not seem to fit flush on the hub, and the center cap would not go on either...

azfab · 07-02-2008, 11:48 PM

yeah i had some problems with the fronts caps, my wheel seated flush with the hub. this is what you do if you have axes to a brak lathe, machien down the face of the hub right were the dust cap go's. give it a good taper. you can use a grinder too. its not too critical cause the wheel is lug centreic not hubcentric. let me know if you have any q?
