Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

hopefully I'll have the taco back by then

 

Well tomorrow is Veterans Day. I just want to say thanks to all who have served and are serving! To all you combat vets your my heroes

 

Thanks, brother! And wtf can’t you make it on Dec 9th?

 

5 1/2 hours or so 1 way to get there. It's a long commute

 

I forgot you live in Virginia. Well, if you’d like to come, you’re welcome to crash at my place. I have 5 bedrooms. No shortage of bedrooms. Btw, I leveled my truck. Jacked it up and followed a step by step YouTube video.

Before and after pics....

 

Truck looks great! I like that MGM color also. A buddy up here has one and he painted his wheels a goldish bronze. I was skeptical at first until we put them on and damn they looked good

 

Yeah, Im putting some black wheels on Tuesday. I LOVE the stock wheels aside from the +25 positive offset. I hate the way all the OEM companies tuck their wheels under the truck. My new wheels are -5 offset. I like the tires to stick out slightly past the flares. I’m not putting spacers on. I’ve heard they are a nightmare on how the truck rides. If you know better, please tell me. I’d love to only spend 200.00 on wheel spacers VS. 800.00 on wheels.

 

Sorry Ihave never used them. I like the look of the tires poking out but also remember the further you space things out it can be a little harder on your hubs and bearings as well. I've never heard od any real problems though with spacers unless they weren't installed properly. The other thing to remember is the further they stick out the more they can create rubbing issues. Of course that also depends on tire size and tread design as well.My buddy I was talking about earlier had to put 1 1/4" spacers on his to clear his UCAs and hasn't had any problems with them

 

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

 

Wheel spacers are fine. Suspension spacers are the ones that affect the suspension and ride. I run spacers. Stick to know brands like spidertrax or bora for known quality.

 

I was up there last Friday, the end of Speedway by Derita Rd, mind blown what the place looks like now.

 

Yeah. Built up all over.

 

Is this the right size?

 

Sounds good!

 

Yep. Check their online outlet, sometimes have some blems in there.

 

Just make sure you torque them properly and check them per the guidelines

 

Thanks, Jim.

Need bail??

 

Yesterday was a good day. Got a call about 15 mins before leaving work saying my sliders were here. Now to prime/paint and install.
