Yeah I'd have to look for some black teflon wheels that I like. I'm not a big fan of black rims so maybe I'd just trying polishing the chrome a lot and see how bad it gets. I have at least two years to go anyhow first before I can afford the other daily driver.

What size leafs did you go with? The 6 or 8 inch? I want to do the same set up you have and someone told me to do the 6 inch leaf and block instead of the 8 inch leaf beacuse the 8 inch makes the rear too stiff and you get a more bumpy ride. Is that acurate?

The shop is offering me a 6 inch Atlas leaf instead of the Deaver and they gave me a choice of the Bilstein or the Fox for teh rear both with the rez. I want the smoothes ride possible. Do you think I should go with a smaller leaf and a bigger block or just stick with the 6 inch Atlas and also what shock should I get?
Thanks

The guy suggested the Fox and Atlas. He said from personnal expirence he liked the fox shox better and that the Atlas leafs ride just as good as Deaver. I actually was looking to go with the 8 inch leaf but he recommeded I go with the 6 inch and a block to keep a factory ride. Basically I'm getting your same set up and out the door it's costing me $5200
Oh...what size offset is your wheel and teh backsaping I take it is 5 inch right?

. . with the same wheels and tires? Damn, thats a really good deal if so. I've never had Fox shocks so I can't tell you. My Bilsteins ride great though.
They are 4.5" backspacing or something around there, 10" wide.
