If taking the weights off will let them clear take them off, some of the weights had already been left behind at superlift before, no way they are in balance.

....I only have about 1/16" clearance...

Just so I understand ... you have 35" tires on 15" rims or 33" tires on ?? rims.
the 15" rims only have a 1/16" of clearance around your calipers so you are going to run the 33's because they have more clearance for the calipers. I'm not sure what there would be to worry about?:?

The object is to get more "GROUND" clearance not brake clearance ;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D

Any hows ...it will be good to see ya ;)

Regardless of "weather" Nyles is ready, the Weather looks like it is going to be right!

Tue 84 Sunny to partly cloudy, night 59 clear
Wed 83 Partly sunny, night 57 partly cloudy
Thur 72 cloudy in the morning, clouds & sunshine in the afternoon, night 53 clear
Fri 74 clouds & sun, shower possible, night 51 clear
Sat 79 bright & sunny, night 54 clear

Looks like A Stark has everything worked out with mother nature for this trip! ;) And we are getting some much needed trail conditioning showers right now too...so everything should be just right out on the trails! :cool:

Hey Mad you are welcome to ride with the lousiana gang again too. I have only one seat to share but it is open and I think there are others open in the group too. You will have to come by the Koa to Louisiana blvd again and check out the festivities I hear rumors that the top fuel blender is ready to go.

sleeping with Howie

I sent a pm to you Howie confirming you could use my room but I only have it for Thursday through Saturday. I was glad to see that Alan could offer you a bed for Wednesday.
