    Yes that would work great! But I need to fit them to my tires, they are made for 31's. Need to add some chain and another cross strap.

    Can always mix up a solution of CLR to soak them in. Shouldn't take too much of the stuff and would work quite well.

    That has always been a priority with me Dana, exhaust all the way to the back. I hate that fresh exhaust smell.

    It's really tough with coils and a 4 link in the rear, the long range tank takes up a lot of space too. Ya the wife was complaining that mort stinks, so he goes under the knife again.

    The space problem has been why I haven't done a four link in the classical way. I have a three inch exhaust system that I like that goes all the way to the back in spite of my large tank. I think I have myself talked into a three link rear. Works well on the front so far

    I have room with tight bends. You might want to consider oval pipe. It is made for use in tight places. Not cheap, but effective
