Sounds like a good idea man; what do you have in mind for axles, wheels, and tires?

im thinking 9 inch rear, with amer. racing trackstar wheels and maybe the m/t sportsman tires about 12-15 inch wide tucked?

Yeah, I was assuming that he meant backhalved in order to narrow the frame rails and axle to fit some really wide slicks. More of a drag racing or Pro-street style setup. If he's talking bagged setups to lay frame, well then there are a lot more.

you were right. i could care less about laying the frame. i have thought about putting bags on it though just for ride comfort. maybe bags instead of coilovers but how do you think that will hook and hold up at the track?
