  Unfortunately, I lost a LOT of traction when I put my Lakewoods on.
My 60' times went from 2.11s to 2.3's. Of course, that showed up as 2
tenths slower overall. :-( I'm going to keep the bars to protect the
truck, but I guess I'll have to play with them a little to try and get some
traction back. Maybe I'll try moving the snubbers closer to the leaf. I've
got 3/4 to 1 inch clearance now.
