    Nice !!!

    I never got into Autocad, although I have the 2007 release I think. I started learning Inventor a while back which wasn't bad for 3D stuff, but then my student edition expired.

    As long as your suspension is upgraded you'll be ok.

    Loading a truck, the heaviest stuff goes as low and as far towards the center as possible. I had a tiar mounted there on a stock truck before, and took it down quick after driving a bit :eek: I was worried about where I have mine now even, but it's been ok with the updated sprangs ;)

    Thats why I had mine cut down. It makes using the bed more difficult. Its kinda like crawling around under the truck now. For now, I may just look into a way to modify my under bed space to accept a 255/85R16 so that its an equivalent outer diameter tire.

    ROFLMAO!! :D
