I agree, but boy are they going to look good. How much you think your going to get out of your coilovers, 2-2.5"?

Apparently nothing because I physically can't crank them. I may try pulling them off the truck and see if it's easier on a bench.

Man that sucks, good luck with it. As you mentioned, getting them off would probably will make life easier. Taking the load off alone will probably help. I am assuming you need to (or at least makes it easier) if you compress the spring?

In the meantime, I just trimmed the valance and test fitted a tire. It should work...it will just be tight.

Here are some pics I took yesterday. It was 6 degrees out so I didn't take anything worth while. But at least you can see how they look. In my opinion they are too big. I definitely need another 2 inches. I'm thinking about actually cranking my coilovers and 2" shackles. Once it gets above freezing...I'll take some more pics.

I went down to the local tractor tie place and they put equal in to balance them. They ride pretty smooth except for 48-53ish mph. Then I have a little shutter in the wheel. They left the old wheel weights on...not sure if that's the problem. I'm hoping it's not my tie rods again...that would suck.

Everything aligned ok...other than the technician fully locking my wheel when he turned in. It pulled off the bottom of my passenger fender flare. There was no damage...they replaced the plastic rivets and all is now good.

Nice man! I like that look a lot. Neat to see a 2004+ truck with more tire then wheel. Seems the fad now is 20"+ wheels with rubber band tires on them. Nice work.
