In order to make the big wheels fit, I had to widen the steering arms from
10 studs to 12. The big tires would've hit the frame otherwise. I also had
to lower the steering assembly and make it narrower so that I could squeeze
the shocks in. As for the bumper, it just has a few extra plates underneath
to hold it together a little better. I ended up rebuilding the engine
because I shredded the engine compartment when adding the shocks.
I really dig the big wheels myself. It makes it look nice and monster
truckish :)
