I got the tires from tire easy online. It's too dark in my garage for decent pics and the truck doesn't roll too well without a rear axle to back it out, lol. They look really good since they have a narrow tread width about 5.5"s, kinda like a real front runner. Hopefully, I can get you a pic this week or at least just a pic of the rim and tire.

I work on a shoe string budget and still have the truck sitting in a corner due to not having money. I know you guys might not be millionars but obviously you have such a large sum of time and money into the trucks and to not step up to a stronger axle seems like cutting corners.
Again I hope to see killer track times and axles holding togather for everyone.

I will have 30 splined moser axels, big bearing 9" ends, cover with girdle, eaton posi unit, prolly stud the main caps, and some stock gears for the time being.......From what ive researched the oem rimg gear and pinion are actually pretty stout. Im not worried about the axels at all

Ok I guess I'll prove ya bud, when I bust that 9 second out on an 8.5" rearend I'll call it good, I'd say anything more than a 9 second pass will need something a littler heftier, but who knows I have a a little bit of money so I may take it as far as I can just to make a statement, only time will tell

I have seen some other people too. You were one that came to mind. I hope they hold up and understand they are fairly stout.
