btw, what lift ya got and tires under that thing
Click to expand...
No lift, no t-bar crank, just trimmed fenders and 33x13.50 LTB's. Tires hit the body mount.

My t-bar adjusters are seized up so I can't really do much right now. Going to run it this way until I get the SAS on.

That's exactly what I think--skinny pedal goes to the floor for a reason.
