if you put a K&N on top of the vent tube it will give the front axle more horsepower.
Paul had amazing results from putting a K&N on the intake side of his OBA. Im pretty sure it gave his compressor 3-4 more horsepower and another 1mpg.
did you ever finish my minions research project?

true story.was that research project question directed at me?
If so
. Unless you're talking about measuring axles (which I completely forgot about until right then), but I done sold all of them but a 10.25 and d60.

Working on my back bumper now by the way. And i've been thinking...
I wanted to do a reciever in the back as well. But i want my license plate centered in the bumper. So im stuck...and suggestions?

you could put the plate on a hinge, or and this would be to much work to be woth it but you could put the plate over the reciver and cut the quare out and put a spring behind it so when you want your reciver you just push part of your plate into the reciver....or just mount the plate on the tailgate or under the bumper again on a hinge (with a spring to hold it down when on the road but will let it swing away when needed)

How about i just do the simple back bumper, license plate in the middle, (2) d-rings on the ends(like the front) and just get a regular hitch for the truck?
Thats what i'm leaning towards.

I like
option 1: receiver tube in the center of the bumper with a license plate holder to slip in the tube. The down side to this is having to remove the license plate anytime you wanted to tow something. Obviously a major no no on the highway.
like this: Hiddend Hitch License Plate Adapter for 2" Receiver - Quadratec
option B: put the receiver under the bumper and not in the center of it. Gusset it from the sides and back. You could also tie it in to the frame mounts.
- my choice.
