    yeah man, i'll definitely take those mastercrafts!!! for breaking the bead in your driveway...........hmmm, maybe let all the air out then use a hammer to hit near the edge...just dont hit the rim:eek:. if that dont work, maybe try a big flat head screwdriver wrapped in a wrag and try pushing the bead off the rim.:confused:

    im still trying to decide if im gonna get those wheelers steelies from ya.......wish i knew for sure they werent outta round.

    yeah i tried the hammer and screwdrivers....so im gonna drive on the tire next and see if that can break it...

    as for the steelies...i havent even had a chance to think about checking them and i wont for at least the next 2 weeks as the fair will be in town soon...

    that wasnt really a concern for me when i bought them as i intend for them to be offroad use only...

    will...have you measured at all on the height of your truck?

    my frame is right at 19" off the ground both front and rear and the fenders are 39" when measured straight up from the ground, thru the center of the wheel

    just wondering how tall yours is sitting with the new suspension

    i havent measured that yet, but i did before and after between the tops of the tires and the bottoms of the fender flares...........2 inches in the front and 1 and a quarter to 1.5 in the rear. i'll take the other measurements tomorrow.

    yeah, and if you have any rubbing now with your tires, hammering on the pinch weld should help with that man.

    Mine were surprisingly affordable when you look at what I've got compared to out of the box prices for allpros or something along those lines

    i think i paid $375 and that included being welded on and the first coat of paint

    and hell i think i only used 4 sticks of tube

    got bored today, decided to take the grille emblem off and paint it.........yeah i know, the cell phone pic is really shitty. i'll get a better one with the camera later.

    [​IMG]

    the grille itself is next, followed with some clear corner lights with black trim, then bedlining my bumpers.
