A new look!

Its been awhile since I posted anything new so I thought now would be a good a time as any!

About two years after getting my black chrome wheels they started to peel.... so I went back to Les Schwab and they were happy to warranty them out. Only problem was the model of wheel was discontinued. So they gave me the option of choosing what ever wheel I liked and to only pay the difference if any.

So after finding a wheel I like for 98$ here is what I came home with:









I think the matte black goes very well with the White paint.

I also decided the soft OEM springs weren't doing the job.... an add-a-leaf helped a bit, but still caused alot of sag when a trailer or any moderate weight was added. So I went and installed a Firestone Air Bag kit. Works very well!





I know airbags severely hinder flexability, but I find that I use my truck more for work then play.... so I find the addition justified.

Anyhow, thanks for viewing!

Cheers

Nem

Thanks for the comments!

I need to use a real camera, the iphone just doesn't do the wheels justice. I will see about getting some better pics up this weekend

Cheers
