Imagine wheels on both sides of the frame rails (FatMammas). Mine are well used FatDaddys. Daily driver.

I don't have any issues with the rear dragging. Yep, I was mistaken; they are the Daddy's. The Mammas have a wheel on either side of the frame rail.

I prefer the momma's over the Daddy's. I like the idea of two wheels on each rail. Good luck.

Funny response to someone asking to see a specific product

You can't even see them unless you are laying on the ground in front of the car. I don't find myself in that position very often, so I guess it doesn't "bother" me

The original poster asked to see them. Your negative comment was unsolicited, irrelevant and absolutely typical of the sort of crap that makes people want to use other websites.

Some people try to help; others just want to **** on threads. Guess which one you are?

Also that pic is at ground level.

They are almost invisible when you are at normal levels

Im going to guess I am trying to help. I was simply stating my opinion.. which was that I do not like the look of those wheels popping out from under the car. YES, they are visible, NO you dont have to be eye level with it on the ground. I never said he/she should not buy them, Im saying he can get alternative being the skid plate reinforcement, I believe the same company uses them, hence no reason for using "other" sites. Thank you
