37s are a much better fit. Is the front higher than the rear right now?

Yea i'll will do a very detailed write up and have many many pictures. I found an Allison to cummins adapter plate yesterday thinking of maybe putting an Allison on the back side of the motor. This is gonna get expensive

I like the 37's better buddy but I like the agressive look of the 35's tread pattern

Hard to beat the price though!
