    Ive always had it off, i just put it on to do the interior light mod and minor adjustments.

    And yeah she's heavy as a beech! Its older and it has the rack on top, so it makes the truck slower. Plus i dont need anymore resistance than my tires are already giving me.

    Did you check out the sick trucks from the meet i went to today? Careful you might need a tissue...

    Yeah, I was getting that on my 265/75/16's. I could maybe get 19-20 if I really tried. But that's no fun when you're 17! :D

    Word. I understand completely. From the looks of what you guys actually do in your meet pics, those tires actually might be a better idea. Just air down a little when you get to the shit.
