How do you balance a 54" tire!? lol. I don't think the shops tire balancer would work...

Subscribed.

How much does a 54" tire weigh anyway?

Also, why in the world would you not finish the project out and use it off-road? If you're going to do something I think you should do it through and through, not just dump $$$ into it and park it at the movies. Just my opinion.

I would assume this rig comes with a step ladder to get into it?

I could see it being a bit top heavy!

Guys,
Here are some pics from the start of the build. Cutting down spring hangers and building a building a cross member to drop the springs the extra 8" the customer wants. and yes this is a mall queen! only for show and parades, it probably will not get over 25 MPH. I will post more pics of progress this afternoon. I will try to use the link to photobucket next time, I am learning how to post pics as I go!
Larry
