Well, problem is, what are you going to do for front wheels, since all the wheels for monster trucks are 4x4 and will need hexes?

And you may have clearance problems on the front end, since 2.2 inch monster truck rims usually attach to the axle far on the inside or in the middle, and a lot of gas MT ims attach towards the outside.

Edit: Just saw the extensions. I dunno. May work, may not. I'd definately gear the truck way down. It's a pretty sizable difference in tires. And really, I think you might lose stability since you're increasing your unsprung weight, and raising the CG for the chassis. But it'll definately scream when it hits top speed.
