I do enjoy the charger but hoping the custom tune helps it a bit . Need a more aggressive tranny set up and hoping to see an increase in mileage . It is pretty bad even when driving easy .

As far as the rest it is coming together ... leveling and block kit , installing gauges and custom tune then it is done for a while .

Would you mind advising the wheels specs on these Ultras?? I assume they are 9" wide, but can you tell me the offset?

Had a 14' 1200x Renegade Ski doo but sold it to do this build .... Then I just couldn't help myself and bought a '13 shorty 800 Etec . We do a lot of high speed groomed trail riding and the sled is perfect for my style . I am sure you a used to a much different type of sledding . What about you ? Gotta be Polaris or Ski doo for the mountain sled ??

Sure . I did a lot of research before selecting the offset because I wanted a certain type of look . They are 20X9 with a + 30 offset . 305/55R20 fit on without a rub with stock suspension . Tires are Dick Cepek Mud Country .

Excellent! Thank you, you're right.... that is a good offset to keep them closer under the truck. I have been looking at those. but I was curious about how the +30 offset would look (thought it would be too shallow). They look great, but some wheels just look way better in chrome than they do in black... and vice versa.

Anyway, any chance I could ask one more favor and get you to measure the size of the "lip" from edge to spoke? I think if I get them in black they may not look as deep as they do in chrome. Great job BTW.

The spoke is about 2 5/8 " in .The spoke tapers in . The rim face is out further than that but the actual rim edge is that measurement . Really pleased with the outcome .

Outstanding! Thanks for taking the time to do that. That's a good sized lip for a +30 offset and I really like the fact that they sit inside the fenders nicely. Great job/choice and thanks again for the help!
