my 98 with a 12 bolt (4.11's), macs, and a lid could lite the 245 khumo's i had right up...

i might keep the gears you have just to get a bit of traction on the streets..

street tire traction w/ 4.10 gears hah hah. you'll be doing alot of 40 mph roll races. I break my 275 bfg KD's loose at 30 but once you get a grip it's awesome but with drag radials it will be sweet
