    I think they are the same.. In the photo, I think they are sitting next to the fronts. MatFab will correct me if I'm wrong :mellow:

    The nittos are sitting next to the 315 rears. I will have to get an accurate measurent today so we all know which is truly wider.

    So its now caged.. just have to finish weld everything but thats no problem. Works perfect and both nitrous bottles will be mounted onto the rear kickdowns. Also the drivers side bar is completely removable for daily driving it then pin it in for the track. Tomorrow time to make the mounts for the 5 point harness.

    thats awesome. most people think the car is ruined once you cage it. looks like you can utilize the back seats as well?

    This truck will be at many events in where it needs to be legal to run. The back seat is completely usable as well as everyting else. Plus without the front door bar in and with the limo tint in the back no one would ever know.. :deshade:
