That body looks real nice on the V.S.!
I like the paint too.

As far as Wideners...
You should try this first:

I know you don't have the same rims but if you cut out all of the backspacing;
It'll narrow your rim & tread width, make the tire a lil taller, & it should give you more clearance for your shocks.

(It worked for my V.S.)

Wideners came today, and I installed them. Then I mounted my battery and then cut my body a tad.... So I drove it for the first time, On the carpet it pops mad whee
ls in reverse or forward. I keep spinning off lug nuts though, it has a 35t lathe motor in it so it has some speed. It crawls pretty good and it flexs good too, On to the pictures.

Since the truck is gone, anyone want to buy the body? I actually kind of miss this rig, but what I got for it was worth it
