Your Clod axles will NOT like the Kongs at all. For one,your steering will suffer. Kongs need alot of room to turn sharp. I would guess that you'll need a 40 acre field to make a U-turn

Secondly,I hear that guys running Clod axles seem to have trouble with breaking the C-hub or something like that running 7" tall tires. I believe that a bigger and much heavier tire would be even worse.

If your stuck on whimpy Clod axles I'd shorten your WB a few inches and run smaller tires. From the looks of this picture..............

Your rear axle is right at the back of the chassis. You could shorten your links and move the axle 2" forward and still have a great depature angle. IMHO it would look more scale also.

The body had a wheelbase of 17", sitting how it is in the pic, it has an 18" wheelbase. The rear of the frame is about 1.5" shorter than the bed.

I had the clod axles layin around, and i'm probably going to run maxx wheels or 2.2's with some ~5" tires.
