Hey PhillipSVT, are those 20's or stock 18's you're installing? Regardless they're sweet! Love that chrome!

The dealer needs to be a Ford Racing authorized dealer to get part numbers starting with M.
Fordpartonline.com cannot order them.

oemfordparts.com from TX is an authorized Racing dealer, and has them lsited on thier web site for $20.00.

If you run into a problem getting them locally then oemfordparts.com is the place to go. They might run 26.00 with shipping, but remember no sales tax for out of state sales, your local guy, add in tax on top of the list price he is probablly going to charge, adn might not have them in stock. the TX place, noted as instock with these, when I looked last week.

When I could not recall that web site, I went to Summit, got ripped for list price, and the 7.95 shipping !
Should have looked harder for oemfordparts.com, and not been in such a hurry to get them ordered.

BigDeal - They are just 18" with Goodyear F1's, and I've had them on for about 6-7 months now. I just rotated them, and cleaned the inside and outside up good before I reinstalled them.


SSCULLY - Thanks, I'll call the local place and if they cant get them or are more expensive, I'll contact the place in TX and get them from them.

I'll let you all know, and post pics of the process of installing it.

Well I changed my mind again, I just took the bracket loose and set a tap hole in the arm and mounted the bracket on the control arm behind the existing placement, now it don't rub / touch / bottom out or anything! so I guess this works as an alternative also.


Thanks!

OK Guys, now I'm really confused!!! I just looked at my truck to see where the bracket holding the brake line is and what would be involved in moving it. Well, there is no bracket thats holding onto the line. Go figure!! In the pictures posted it shows it right underneath the front coils. My truck doesn't have coils, only the shocks. What the heck is going on here??? Could it be that since it's a '98 or being that it's a 4x4 they would be different? Will I still have the same problems with tire/rim rubbing? Would appreciate any and all ideas. Oh yea, can someone post a picture of the turn stops so that I can see if I have these. Thanks

Sure relocate the bracket on the inside of the lip, BUT don't just put a regular bolt back in it. Go to the hardware store and get a flatter bolt. Something like a regular screw head that is rounded off or maybe a flatter Allen screw. I would think this would be the cheaper way out of this.
