4:10s might be ok with 33-35" tires, but you'll want something a little deeper with 39s, I think. Also, never heard of a "crawl" induction hood. Must be something rock crawlers use, right?

Ha guess he means you have to 'crawl' up on the hood to see the induction? Hahaha! $5500 seems a lil steep on it as well...he told me he never had the front end done since he had had it...and that would be the FIRST thing I would do as a 'just in case'...ball joints..tie rods..cv joints...Thats about a grand right there.

Crawl induction hoods are that super sleek stealth type hood, so low they look like they are "Crawling" on the hood, Hense.. Crawl induction.

Everytime I've crawled on a hood, alcohol was involved.

I can't really think of much I didn't do to try finishing what the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents tried doing to me. And the crawling on hoods was part of that time period. Wild times, those were. And I am very glad to have them behind me.
