    Don't remember the BS on my wheels, but as you can see they sit very recessed into the wheel wells.

    They’re decently recessed, but definitely still easy enough to reach and actuate. My front spacers are 1.5” for reference

    Hmm, that doesn't look too bad! It's like it was designed to fit those hubs. You can probably put the center cap back on.

    Yep! I can leave them off, but I like the stealthy look when I keep the covers on. Then when I want to go wheeling, I pop them off, lock the hubs, and slap them back on at the end of the day

    Yeah that really does look good. Wonder how it'll look with my 3rd Gen wheels. Can you link what spacers you have?

    @BartMaster1234

    If you want to use spacers, and don't want to have to modify them like I did, get All Pro or Trail Gear lug centric spacers for the front and get All Pro, Trail Gear or Spidertrax Hub centric spacers for the rear.

    Get the All Pro extended thread spacer lugs for the front.

    Are we talking about the auto trans and it’s excessive play/shake on the shifter assembly? If so I’m interested.

    I’m about to install the OEM rubber boot for my transfer case anyway.

    I never did take photo's of my manual hubs on the v8. I had one inch lug centrick wheel spacers with the manual hub. I liked how it looked like they were not there at all. I showed a few people and they lost there minds.
    DSC00297.jpg Looks normal right? But they are in there, waiting... I thought of trying to contact the owner to see how the truck was doing. Maybe ask them if they now how to put it in low gear. You have to put the shift lever in L position and then push the overdrive button, LOL! I should have made a manual.

    So... aside from fluids, I think the final list is complete. I either have all of these items or they are on order. Most of the items on order should be here before Friday.
