Re: Slot mags vs pyo's

Everything the truck has, and currently I am adding. From the 12 bolt rear, HD leaf spring pack, tranny cooler, helper air bags, and built engine tranny combo are capable of the job. Except the lite duty front spindles. Which I would get rid of either way.

As someone else mentioned 295/50's are play tires. So I looked up the specs, and they have the same weight capacity as 275/60's. Weight capacity only goes up decently when I get to 70 series tires.

The 295/50's have a 2061 pound capacity, and the 16's hover around 2700-2800 pound rating.

So if the 7500 max tow rating is true as I currently believe. The tires are good enough, but will I be pushing then to hard. And should just go to 16's with E rated tires.

While I had originally planned to build a dirt road bomber, a 4/6 drop C10 is also a big want.

I have a big love for slot mags, and would like to use them. Correspondingly adjust my plans.
