I've got 4 15x8 steel wheels for sale. I believe they are American Racing wheels. I got them from gulf coast rovers a few years ago. I'd say they are in pretty good shape as far as steel wheels go.

150$ plus shipping from 27104


Now for the lift. It is a OME 2" lift with OME shocks. The front springs are 751's and the rears a 762's. I took the springs/shocks off a old truck I use to own that has been sitting outside in my driveway. They are rusty, and pretty ugly looking. The shocks are also rusty, and one of them has a rust hole through the "shock boot" portion of the shock.

I know there not pretty, but I think they could be put to use on a "beater" RRC or Disco.

I'm not sure if anyone will find any value in them, but I couldn't let the scrapper have them.

I honestly couldn't tell you how much they have sagged, or if they have at all.

When I took them off the truck(It had been sitting in my driveway for 3-4 years) I didn't have any height measurements from when I was still driving it, so I don't have anything to compare it to.

I know they were in pretty good shape while I was driving the truck(about 3-4 years ago), but I'm not exactly sure how much springs "wear" just sitting there in my driveway?

In my not so expert opinion, I'd say they still should have some decent life left in them.

Rear springs are sold...

I took a air grinder/wire wheel to the springs and got all the rust and loose paint off. They cleaned up pretty nice... I'm pretty confident the fronts are still in pretty good shape.(as were the rears) The front shocks also seem to still have some life left in them. A friend wanted the rear shocks so they are no longer for sale.

Make me an offer on the front shocks/springs.

Sent some PM's.

I'll be out of town this weekend, and I doubt I will be able to check this thread until Sunday night or Monday morning.

I used a air grinder and a wire wheel and took off all the rust and old paint, and I think they cleaned up pretty good. I think these pictures show what kind of condition they are in under all the rust and road grime

If anyone has any doubts to the condition of the springs, I will vouch for them. I bought the rear springs. They aren't perfect, and they aren't new, but they are in good shape and will serve me well. The description was accurate. I you need front springs, I'm sure they will be as nice as the rears.
