Again the Chris Lambert's on the list get mixed up... the lowereed IB CC is
the other Chris Lambert, mine is the factory height Black CC.. They let me
run so I was happy, My plan was to keep the rears soft so I could swing the
back of the truck around... It is such a good feeling to be able to do this
legally, well at least without getting a ticket for it... any pics of that
tire in the air?
