well, I was thinking of going 2-4 W/C and quicker larger sway bars just to
keep things tight. at the same time using poly bushings... Id you really
think that I could go with the 3-5 and be ok then that would be great...
also, I want to make sure that I would be able to haul 2 jet ski's. I know
they don't way much but don't want to get in a bind if I need to haul them.
well I can tell you I probably won't make it...you think you'll be at
Carlisle next year???

If you ever come to Virginia Beach, I would be more than happy to let you
drive it. But you supply the crowbar, so I can pry you out when you don't
wanna get out ;) I will also see if I can get a good pic of the amount of
clearance between the axel and the frame. There is alot !
