    I figured that was true. My problem is that working in my driveway with a jack and a couple jack stands it is likely I won't get eveything lined up again correctly. I will give it a try and see. Maybe swap them over and then just get a free alignment check to see how close I got. If it is close, I will leave it. If I screw up I will pony up the cash to get it realigned.

    Looks like I'll be modifying my Beefed sliders to make the 63 swap work. The rear hanger of the sliders mounts to the bottom of the frame rail right in front of the stock spring hanger. That's pretty much right where the new hanger will have to be. Guess, I'll be cutting that last leg off to get the new hanger installed and then weld on my bolt on sliders with a new rear leg.

    Welp, it appears that the procomp wheels I have on order with Summit are unobtainium. It's been a month since I ordered them, and it's now going to be another month until their next delivery shows up, and it's not guaranteed that the wheels will even be on the truck.


    Sooo..... I ordered a set of these. :D

    17x8 Konig CounterSteer Type X (BLACK)
    -10 offset
    6x139.7
    4.1" backspacing

    Not the 3.5" backspacing I wanted, but I'll be able to ditch the spacers and be just a hair further away from the frame. The Konigs weighing in a 20lbs vs. the 32lb steelies doesn't hurt either. :D

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    If you're still getting the other wheels in, change the delivery address to my house. I can wait.
    :D

    I kinda wish I would have gone with the 6 shooters instead of my level 8s. It would have saved me about 8 pounds a corner. Mine weigh about 29 each and the 6 shooters are 21 IIRC

    I'm an impatient bastard when it comes to truck parts.

    Well, at least you're not heavier than stock.

    Similar to the ones I'm running but not quite the same specs. Only 4" BS on mine.

    They do look to be a quality wheel that you won't find everywhere. So, how many sets of wheels have you gone through?

    Thanks :thumbsup:
