Please feel free to use the picture.

I pulled 8 psi out of the rear tires and trimmed 1/2" off the bumpstops and she is hooking 10 times better now. Even on the street without warming them up she flat hooks and books!!

Here are a couple more shots I took yesterday. The tires actually look bigger in person then the pictures.

I would be interested. How tall of a front tire are you thinking? Keep us posted on any progress, Thanks

The rear 390/40x17 tires are 29"-29.5" so I am working to have a 28"-29" tall front made to match up with them. The current front 185/55x17 is just shy of 26", it would look and ride better with more sidewall.

I agree, the rears look very nice but the front needs a little more sidewall. Not to mention, getting the front up will help weight transfer and traction.
