    Using 2wd and slicks in a 4x4?

    Here's the deal. I want to attempt to run the truck in 2wd with a set of slicks on it, but I'm afraid that running a different size tire in the rear isn't going to play nice with the Autotrack. I don't want to be pulling the front driveshaft at the track either. Any suggestions or ideas?

    Still have to find a set of 16s that clear the rear disks. I think I found a set, but ugh.

    what size slicks do you plan on running? Best option may be to get a set of stock rims and just put some cheapo tires on them for the front just to match

    Depends what I can find. Something small like a 28 most likely.

    I've heard it screws with the autotrac.
