Big tires, lugs and traction is overrated.

Hey thanks Jim. Just checked out your web page, what type of flares are those? We got about the same suspension except I got add-a-leafs in mine. Ride aint that bad but going with the emus for more height and better ride and flex. So no problems in the mud HUH? Cool with 31's mine is geared too low for the mud and noticed I use second and third to climb so begger tires should help all around. I'm i pcola where you at in Jax lived there for 7 yrs myself used to go wheeling across from the JAX base a little up the road. I'll let you know how the springs work out. I have a whole lot of extra motor laying around like 4.3 and 3 toy motors with drivtrains. Trying to decide on lightweight or more power. Hey by the way any problems with the rear shaft with the centered diff?:rasta:

as far as the rear driveshaft goes ,no prob yet.It is at a compound angle but seems to do fine.I clearanced the shaft a little with the grinder to help keep it from binding and use a 1"longer slip yoke from Trail Tough.so far so good
