    Little by little is the way to go. Or you could go ape shit with a saw and cut your truck in half like I did. I don't suggest this lol.

    4wd;) Plus everything is brand spanking new I'd offer him 4K flat if I was a first gen 4wd owner

    Plus you don't add a shit ton of scrub like the solo spindles do.

    What is so bad about extra scrub radius? Only big issue I can see is it would be harder for me to turn in the rocks when rock crawling when I have my front locker engaged, but most of you guys are 2wd and go fast so that wouldn't be a problem.

    Scrub sucks at speed to its gonna want to pull the wheel out of your hands which isn't good when your romping through the nasty shit. Got a buddy that raced a yota with a decent amount of scrub ended up with blisters though the gloves lol

    I see. Could you just run wheels with a smaller backspacing to help pull it back in a little. Assuming you can fit them, I guess.

    Speaking of backspacing. I want more backspacing than I currently do with my Methods (4.5). Anyone have a recommendation for a good looking 16" wheel with more backspacing?
