The motor almost attatched to the bell housing haha and dont know if its too noticeable but i do have 1" 1/2 wheel spacers with some Falken High Country 235/75r15 hopefully i get good results with them. i didnt want a swamper but more of a mud cutter. heard good things from them so we will see how they hold up  ::)
