    Those look great. Are they universal? If so, how many are you willing to make for how much?

    No, sorry. those will be custom fit for his wheels. A few local guys have asked me already, but it's pretty hard on this tiny lathe. The first test center cap I made out of nylon took less than 10 minutes on my lathe at work. Plus the material alone is about $80. I don't plan on selling these. Just favors for friends.

    Thanks for the compliment tho. I'll post pics when they are done and on the truck. That pic of his truck with the emblem is just an "artists concept"

    I have no idea since the bushwackers hang down lower than the stocks. I think it was originally around there tho. Might be higher since I have the 700lb coils in now. I have been cranking my coils with everything installed. Just jack up the truck. No straps anymore either. It seems to be easier if you turn the whole coil with the top ring.

    Finally got around to putting my rear superbumps on. Thanks to Squint for getting them for me :)

    I like it this way since I can remove/replace/adjust the bumps without having to unbolt my U bolts.

    Instead of disconnecting or removing the swaybar, you disconnect one of the endlinks, so it allows each spindle to act fully independently. This allows it to slide up and down, so the endlink does not flail around while you drive.

    Yep! And to fix and seal up those awful gaps. Gonna have to butter them up a little. Even cleaning up the sliders, I found many pin holes in the beads. Gonna fuse those with the TIG torch. He said I would have to wait one week max for a second set of sliders, been over two with basically no response :rolleyes:

    This is awesome! I have been looking at other options for the caps for my method's....the stock caps are too long and rattle a bit but don't really like the look without them.
