    Changing M923 to a M923A1

    Are there many concerns, or is all you basicly have to do is change the 1100x20 tires to the 1400x20 tires and rims. I know you have to flip the rear rims so the inside is facing outside. I know to complete it right, you would have to slide the bed back 3" and change the spare tire holder. But...

    Tires and snow

    I have a M923 and a M923A1. They have as you know different tires on them. I have Michellin 1400x20's on the M923A1 and Goodyear 1100x20 on the M923. Which one of these do you think will be better in the snow? Even snow up to 18" deep. I will be keeping both charged and will start them...

    Bull ride question

    Most of the time my M923A1 rides smooth on the freeways but on certain stretches of the freeway it gives you a bull ride effect. Bouncing from front to back, front to back bouncing.
