Not to mention the fiberglass bedsides i have on it are cut to fit 37s so that makes the gap look alot bigger too.
haha I know, I know. Put a 460 big block in her and call it good. I see in your other pictures the tires look the same. Do you ever plan on running 37s?

Haha a 460 would be AWSOME! I wonder how it would fit....i have an engine cage so i would have to take measurments but hey...i dont have a welder, grinder, bender ect in my garage for nothin!! i can always make it fit lol. I am throwing around the idea of 37s but cost of the tires and the extra weight beating up my bearings and stuff idk...i have a few buddies that went 37s and ended up back with 35s sayin the gain in ground clearance isnt worth the ***** whoopin 37s give your bearings/ snouts/ heims and uniballs...even if i did go 37s it wouldnt be for a while i have 6 more brand new tires in my garage for after these ones are toast.

You have a richer front end, does that have a bolt on snout or an OEM press in snout?

I have a BTF mid travel kit with a stock press in snout currently, my thinking is if I run it hard enough itll snap. So id need to upgrade to bolt on snouts, changing my bolt pattern

Mine are bolt on but they are stock size. Custom machined with the bolt on flange and the snout. Im saving to upgrade to a 2.0 race snout with hibs brakes and all that happyness. Looking at the blitzkrig kit. Pricey but i should never break the snouts again
