Height looks good
All stacked up and awaiting some 53" michelins

In case you're wondering, the wheels are bud centered, the holes have a 45* straight bevel on both sides. that o ring is about 3/8" round. there are 16 3/4" studs keeping the two halves together and the book says they should be tightened down to 450 - 500 lbs/ft.
tires are a long way off, mostly because i don't have room to store them. taking it easy till after thanksgiving and then i have a "job tour" in Charleston on Monday, so Tuesday is likely the next chance I'll have to do anything. whats next on the list? removing whats left of the factory skid (should have done that in the first place) and picking up some plate (i hope its here by now) so I can make a new, more friendly skid.
