Ah, so now we're getting somewhere!!!!

You hit the nail on the head!!!! (smile)

When this thread was first started, there was a "cookie cutter" statement made that basically said, "just make the body width the same as the tires and you'll be at your optimum".

Well, this may be the case in certain situations, but as we have seen, there ARE circumstances that differ from this, and that is why I tried so hard to make a point of it.

Shepard, you just summed up this thread better than I could while using many more words. Thanks.

Jim.
