I have a set of 19.5's for sale in the classifieds. 34 inches tall. My rear springs are sacked, they wouldn't fit under my flatbed. Plus, my bed is the width of the cab, so duallys would be too wide. :oops:

If you act now, I can take them to SOP with me, and I know DPuckett is going to Kentucky. Maybe you can get them along the way somehow. ;)

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
