BFG AT T/A KO Snow Performance

I've have BFG AT T/A KO's for the last 18 months. so they've seen two winters now. so far, i'm not too impressed with them in the snow. they slip all the time, both accelerating and braking. this definitely isn't a case of me pushing them too hard. they slip even under light to moderate speed change...

push bars / bull bars are garbage. they only mount at the base and essentially pivot about that point. you will not be able to use them to push anything and they will cause more damage than they prevent. it WILL buckle under load and will either crush your radiator (if pushed toward the truck in a m...

i think they have to drain and drop the fuel tank to get to the fuel pump.

i hope you put a fuse in the 4ga feed immediately after the battery. i didnt see anything about your main fuse location... so just checking. also, if it was me, i would use the split/convoluted loom anywhere my wires were exposed (engine bay, underneath the truck, etc). no matter how much you strap ...

the 12V power to the relay should be fed with a direct FUSED wire from the battery, then from the relay to the light socket. you will need to tap an ignition switched power line somewhere in the truck and run that through your new light switch to the trigger on the relay. you will NOT want to use th...

will i be able to use the airlift bags with the OME rear spring, or is that not possible? what about using the airlift bags with the stock springs and the ranhco spacer?
