What kind of tires for the back? I take it you removed a little space?

First time I have seen a UCA mounted. Was it hard? Did you use air tools?

i went w/ the stock tires again so next set i can replace all 4... The upper wasnt that bad just limited space...and the only air tool i used was a air chisel 2 remove the nut tacked inside of the axle bracket...

yah i'm not sure how he went throught the tires so fast. he never drives the darn car! Always an excuse, "it looks like rain" "the roads have salt on them" "i'm watching reruns of the real world" .
