Thank you hotrod gabster.... I guess I should've specified, I was looking for helpful feedback, rather than self contradictory, non educated condemnation..(starts out with, "by the time you get it done right" and goes on to say "there's no way to know if that much modification....." And then says stuff like "you're not just ri sking your life...and traffic around you" (hello !! I'm just doing research...? And asking for helpful input...) I don't plan to do a hack job myself. I'm going to enlist the help of a professional machinist. I'll just go strait to him for useful information. As for the comment about the exploding tires, thank you. I am aware of it, but it is worth another mention in a topic like this.
