What kind of steel wheels did you get and why are you using alloy lug nuts? What back spacing do you have on those steel wheels?

Thanks

 

[discovery12]

looking Badass great Disco Man.

 

[edthediscoman]

That looks baddddd asssss!!
Would love to head in that direction.
Also, does it get warm in the summer with the winch in front of the radiator? Just a thought.
Also, what was involved with the 5" lift, I am thinking of getting new springs, and well...perhaps I can dream here....but if its not too much shtuff to change after the 5" springs?

your truck is ugly and your hat is ghey....

now w/ the money i saved you on spacers, will you go buy some damn lugnuts, you lugnut.
i'm w/ James, lose the nutz.

AF open last weekend, lets go break some CV's

Lane, that beast is badass!! What I want to know is how in the hell did you get a Hydroboost?! Do a tech article man, that is definately the way to go.

Lane,

I've got an extra set of lugnuts for ProComp steelies. If they'll do the job, you can have them for the cost of shipping.

[spydrjon]

What about castor correction? I am curious, if you didn't do the castor correction, how is it handling? What about the vibration? Nice looking truck BTW....

 

[mightymg]

Cambo Ill PM you on the HYdroboost. As for Castor correction goes, I have the corrected front radious arms, A GBR front shaft wiht a RRC rear shaft, I had the rear links lenghtened for 2 reasons, 1 so that my BIg ass tires wouldnt hit the doors, and second so that my pinion angle would be equal opposite for the Nice Vibeless ride. As for the steering I need to do the corrected balls eventually however it doens wander all over the road their is jsut a little play up there.

Marc I LOVE YOU TOO@@, ANd yeah Lets go hit those washes, I know justin is jumpin ready to go too... The steelies are GCR 15x7 i think they have an extra inch of back spacing.
ED go for the big lift. LOL. Theirs not to much more to change you will probably have to change your front arms again, and maybe do some swivel balls, Mine has front arms set up for a 4 inch lift so it drives fine.

Craig thanks for the offer, My zip is 84015, Let me know how much shipping is, Ill get rid of my big nutz if I must, I kinda like them.... LOL

Bad ass disco man. That thing is a damn beast.

 

[roverover]

Lane, put me on the list for hydro boost instruction

 

[cptyarderho]

What did it run you to have custom springs made?

 

[mightymg]

talk to Jason about the springs, his handle on dweb is Smithers. And for all you soon to be hydroboosters out there, IM going to be doing a boost on smithers rig in a month or so, so when I do, Ill get you a good write up wiht pictures and all. COOL!

 

[RoverChic]

WOW! What a BEAST! I say keep the lugs, they make your rig just that much more unique and different! Nice work, looks like it would be so fun to drive!


I just have one question what is that "tube" for on the side of your truck?!?!:smilelol:

 

[LiveAtTheEdge]

damn. That's pretty much where i want to head with mine. You have new HD rear shafts right, but stock front ones with the 110 joint? Congratulations. How expensive and difficult is it to do a GM power steering conversion also, mine's seen better days.

It's not just for looks, steel wheels need lug nuts made for steel wheels.

15x7 wheels? That's pushing it on a 12.5 wide tire. Get some from Trek outfitters and get the extra back spacing so you regain all your turning radius.
