Oh sure pry it right off of there, just a flat spring, no worries. **** no. I pry, little puck that's glued to windshield flies off with the rearview mirror, and cracks the ******* less than an hour old windshield.
This makes me feel so much better! that and the fact that more people got caught up on those damn decals lol

I like the added color on the tires. What did you do that with?
They are tire stickers from tirestickers.com. They are supposedly good enough to withstand whatever is thrown at them. The contact adhesive was very aggressive so I don't think hey will tear off easily without taking some tire with it, but I have no idea if the color is going to rub off or fade. I suppose only time will tell. If they hold up then it was worth every penny and the hour and a half install time per tire because I love the look of tires that are not just plain black.

Im not sure why some guys have clearance issues, and some guys dont. I went to a KO2 37 first, did mid perch and it rubbed at the back down low and up top against the flair when tucked. I pounded the pinch down, and had my alignment shop push the LCA out at the back to give me more clearance.
I was running the truck at Cycle Ranch on the truck track I built, and was worried I was going to blow the fenders off. The 2.5's were struggling to keep up.

I made the switch to a 3.0 DSC and moved into a KM3. I still see some scrub marks up top inside the wheel well on the flair, but have never ripped the flair out or cracked a fender. I assume it from keeping the wheels straight when landing from a jump.
I've fully tucked it a couple times and have yet to tear it up... Wonder if 3.0 and my alignment give me the room to clear?

How many threads did you adjust your 3.0s to get the clearance to run 37s?

Did you remove the raised lettering on the tires and then install the stickers?
If not what was the process you used?
