Just cragar 342 series. They were 159 each for the custom backspacing.

The problem was that I wanted to run a meaty tire. Something with a lot of sidewall and wide enough to put a fat mark on the ground. I also wanted to run a 30" diameter. So it came down to a 15" wheel, so I could run the 315/60 radials from hoosier or mickey thompson.
The track doesn't allow slicks, only DOT drag radials. So I was kind of stuck with the two tires I mentioned. I didn't think 159$ a wheel was bad so I'll give them a shot. Should be here in the next 4 weeks.

Got really tired of looking at a computer screen so I went out back and pulled the driveshaft out, rear wheels off, and pulled the diff cover. My 4.10's will be here sometime next week so I thought I would just tear it apart now and fix a few things.
A while ago, I put a line lock in my truck but once I got it installed and buttoned up, the damn solenoid didn't ever work. So since I'll be running at the track a lot now, I thought I'd either fix the line lock or get a replacement. I'll take that out of the truck tomorrow and see if I can get it to engage.
Those beefy tires and a good burnout with the line lock should give me decent traction with the new gears...I hope anyways. Next step is probably to relocate the shocks behind the rear end.

I still need to find a 04-06 fuel tank and order $400 worth of fuel fittings and hose before I can install the manifold. Should be fun as hell to get all that in at the same time and turn it up to 20+psi
