I've been looking at getting a setup like this myself. Although my truck isn't as aggressive as Andy's, I still think that I could see some serious attitude adjustment with a lighter, shorter set of rolling stock, and I am curious to see what kind of gains I could get.

With your gears, that **** would rip! of course, with my deep first gear and 3.73s, I would imagine that would be pretty fun too. I took a glance at 275/50-17s too, but that might get a bit stupid

Thanks! I'm in northern Mercer county, couple minutes south of Hunterdon county.
Yep, the wheels themselves are 9 pounds a piece lighter (21, versus 30).
And I'll hold off on the speedo video until I get it adjusted for the tires. Next video I'll be sure to include some of the track through the windows. Though it is funny seeing all the "sweet dyno run bro" comments.
Because half of my truck has fallen off in the form of rust.
The whole setup weighs exactly 60 lbs I believe. I'm sure I could have found some lighter tires, but these Hankooks had such good reviews, I just had to go with them.
I believe the Denali 17s are about 3-4 pounds a piece heavier, since they're a 17x7.5, instead of 17x7.
