Eric, those wheels look great...good job! Maybe you can sell your old wheels and tires and buy your gears or posi.
With a pair of 17" tires and the right gears and a positrac rearend getting the traction to the ground should be no problem rather you have a bumper or a roll pan.

Either way it doesn't matter these truck look ok with a bumper pr a roll pan
was just saying that with a phantom grill and those rims Eric just put on his truck that a roll pan would look better. But if he wants a bumper thats alright
it' his truck and he can put on whatever he wants.
