from an appearance stand point, should i paint in the rasied "Mickey Thompson" and "ET Street Radial" on the tires to match the front, or leave it with the big huge blackwalls? picture in sig is what the car looks like on the street everday, and the tire sizes are the same from drag to street, but the drag tires look huge in comparison cause they don't have the white lettering to break up the large side wall. so, what would you suggest, keep the black sidewalls on the m/t's or paint the letters in white so it looks like it does on the street. will also add to the "street" car look like it just rolled in on street radials.

with the price of 4.10 gears for a 9 bolt, i don't think so, i will just get my 9"! oh, and i got the tires from www.extremesuspensions.com for $296 shipped to my door! they are the cheapest i have ever seen. don't worry when you get to the site and notice they are mostly all off-road truck stuff. and unfortunately, they use paypal and so they have to wait for payment to clear inorder to ship. so allow about 2 weeks for delivery.

broken parts are only cool when you have the money to fix them properly. my fix included throwing the spider gears back in. now i need a posi of some sort. oh, and i don't think i'll be painting the letters on the tires either. actually, i may have my street tires rebalanced and put on the other way. they probably need a balance anyway.

What size are those m/t's? I'm looking for a good drag setup for 15x7's, still deciding on tire sizes.
