I have my rear dropped 6" and I put the 22's on the day after I dropped it. My traction actually improved if you ask me.

I am running Kumho Exsta's and they stick like bubble gum on your shoes.

I have heard the Kumhos are good tires....Nice to see someone has them!

Yeah they do suck. this is my second pair. I have noticed that when they are brand new they are kind of ok. If i spin the tires they will shreech. But after a couple of burnouts or somthing they are totally quite, meaning they are just spinning with ease. Just yesterday i rotated my tires and it is gripping a little better. But I definatly will not go with these tires ever again!!!

My home made ones ..

Before I put thses damn things on I had an issue with axle wrap , not traction ... I had Tration issues after putting them on with my 255/70/16's , now that I have the 295/40/20's on there I can still spin them but not like before ..


before I got the Eaton Posi I could spin all the way through 3rd , Posi does wonderful things ..

Damn that is a good idea, I know that I have axle wrap on my thing, cuase when I floor it that thinks just sinks. I am going to try that. How thick is the steel on the clamps? I imagine the thicker the better.

hahaha, I don't have to work tomorrow, so I will be playing in the garage.

I'm guessing it does effect the ride some as he is tie-ing the leaves together
