    No worries, I wasn't sure, it seemed like a lot of work for little clearance, I wish it was 3" vs the 1". my biggest concern is actually the bottom bolt getting snagged.

    Does it leak from the front bottom or around the welded plate?

    I wouldn't shave the D60. Overtime It'll shave itself. If the bottom gets snagged hit that rock harder, you'll bump over it. Ain't gonna break it unless you do some serious stupid stuff.

    Also, you don't gain much clearance because the D60 isn't a huge freaking turd that has all that wasted diff space like the 14bolt. 14 bolts hang low as hell and require a shave.

    I noticed my PBR’s had gotten noticeably harder as I approached 7 years old. Mine saw a bunch of road miles and heat cycles, plus not sitting in the garage was hard on the compund. I don’t think it’s exclusive to Pitbull but I think tires are about a 4-5 year commitment until they start giving up some traction from age.

    Thanks for the tips guys on mounting up a set of beadlocks!

    I had mine bald in 2 years and i didn't even drive it all that much like 8K. Then again alot of them went up in smoke.

    D60 front and 14B rear under my truck they aren't shaved and i haven't even had the desire to do so. I just put a bigger tire on and called it good.

    That could work...with the minor inconvenience of having to buy a tow rig to go with LOL

    Given the choice at this point I would probably do an engine swap and go with a V8 :yay:

    So I ordered some parts from ruff stuff and ballistic this weekend. I must say the stuff from ballistic came really fast. As usual I got fast responses from ruff stuff, most of it’s on the way and some of it is on backorder.

    90% of my parts came from ruff stuff. Never had a negative experience with them at all. Really good customer service. The parts seem well manufactured. Very good company to deal with.
