    You don't powdercoat the chrome. You sand blast the chrome off then powdercoat the metal.

    I would, but they are chipping pretty bad. Could anyone hook me up with a link on a total package i would need for a lift around 2"- 2 1/2" for the 5100's and TSB front and rear? Seen a kit for 649 with springs and adjustable front and rear. Anyway to go cheaper?

    If i sell the 20's what would be a decent all terrain size 265/75's with some 18" Rims?
