You say front axle....are you converting it to 4x4 or just going through the bearings on the existing setup?

It's getting an '05+ axle swap. I have the axles and all the suspension parts already. I just need to rebuild the axles now that they've sat in the weather for 2 years. lol

I just can't stand the look of frickin cars with 1/2 inch of sidewall showing..

Thanks Darin. I was nervous about the 20s. I was originally going to run 18s, but after seeing the tire options out there for 18s I decided to give this a try. I'm really glad I went with 20s now.
