The rear tires determine how much of that engine torque actually gets to the road. And, you don't want stickier tires than what the rear suspension will support. [...or you break 'stuff'...]

Yes I have proven this about 5 or 6 times now

I just fabbed up a new bracket yesterday using 1\4" steel plate

It came out very nice...unfortunately I can not post pics on here for some reason.

I am ordering a set of 3"half shafts from fortwayne in the next week or so.....the next purchase will be a set of 31 spline axels from Tom's then a 12 bolt conversion.....

I gotta do it in steps cause this stuff is just soooooooo exspensive
