well i had some 50 series 17" wheels before so it rides a little smoother with the taller sidewall but its a little more "mushhy" i guess is the word? it takes more turning on the steering wheel to turn the truck i guess since the tire is a 2 ply tire instead of the 4 ply i had and its not as firm on the road. but its not like i'm going to autocross it or some ****, i'm about used to it now and i'm happy with the way it rides. doesnt seem to effect the braking either, but i havent driven it in the rain or anything yet either.

i had a few questions for you. im doing a very similar swap on my 98. Going to be dropping an LQ4 in it and probably a turbo. but with a T56 instead. what did you do for wiring? Stand alone harness or rework the stock one? and then did you just intigrate with the 97 harness?

Man that looks NICE. I never noticed how beefy that HOB bracket is either.
