Thanks. I can't go all the way in the throttle becuase it just spins like that. Even the freeway in passing gear it will kick the rear end a little when it down shifts. Its scary. I need larger rear tires and some sort of two link or track bars from the axle to the frame by the reat cab mounts.

Got my new poly bushing kit in today. Replaced cab bushings and called it a day.

Nice progress. Check out the new truck section in the Pro-Touring forums if you haven't already. I feel like Ive seen this truck there as well

VERY VERY rough but an idea I can't stop thinking about. I want my 295s back in the front but If I can fit larger then hell ya! Haven't figure out the rear I was thinking of cutting the fender at the body line and spacing it out 3-4" the frint would be a little less dramatic. I just want larger tires and to look sporty. Anyways what do you guys think?
