Don't forget I am bagged so at the stripe I inflat the fronts and then I am going up hill and will slow much faster!! haha Sorry lame as hell but it is an old classic.
Even the 18" you cut off the back of the truck?

This is the delema. I think with my plans I can save enough weight to drop .15 and still retain front brakes for street, burnout and an extra line of safety.
