    I spent 11 hours on the motorcycle yesterday; it was a really good day. It was pretty good except for the missing-my-final-and-getting-a-zero part. I'm getting to make up the final and will get a good portion of the points back. The worst part of yesterday was I forgot to put on some sunscreen.

    Really? They do not look that big in the pictures. How does the clearance measure out under the axles?

    Makes sense if you wait to go with bigger tires till then.

    Pretty nice.

    Kind of interesting comparing these numbers; I measured mine at 20" to frame, 12" to IFS bar, and 11" at the rear. Actually not bad numbers for a truck sitting on 33s compared to two rigs on +37s.

    Good comparison and very valid point about a substantial lack of weight.

    What else are on these axles? I'm assuming the diff armor is reducing the clearance. The much larger tires should get some added height. wtf?

    These numbers seem to be challenging what everyone says about clearance and mods.

    Mine is on a small lift so that could explain some of the difference. The 63's don't lift it too much and the front is only 3" or so. Plus the 35's are aired down, that would explain the frame height differences.

    One of my moms brake calipers is leaving fluid a little bit ever since I took em apart. I tightened everything down pretty good...

    Any ideas why they would leaking?

    Either the brake line is leaking or the seals in the calipers are starting to weep.

    I still would have expected those bigger tires to have a decent height difference over my IFS on 33s. According to these numbers 33s with 20 psi have an equal height to 35-38s with <10 psi. Really?

    Looks great Keith!


    Do you think you could drill a hole and run the wire through the bottom of the stand?
