    Honestly I'm not entirely pleased with how the new ones look, but for the price and the way the truck feels after switching I'd be stupid not to keep them. The weight of a 10 inch steel wheel is just too damn much for these trucks so unless I get a lead on some cheap alloys it's gonna be this for a while.

    The old ones were a good 20lbs heavier per corner and you feel it in everything. I'm used to sports cars where you can feel a huge difference in unsprung weight but didn't expect it to feel this much better on a truck.

    Depends how you drive I suppose. Someone once said you lose a couple seconds 0-60 but I don't drive like that so it doesn't matter. It takes more power though I suppose. I will know more when I need to merge fast or something. As for rubbing, I did the pinch weld mod and trimmed the bottom of the fender flare and now I'm good. Not sure about stuffing them though. That takes more work I think. I don't stuff so it doesn't matter.

    Mine has a bit of mirror tint to them. Hate it. Because it's impossible to match tint.

    Anyone here have an opinion on Hawk HPS vs. LTS pads? They are both about the same price. I'm leaning toward LTS. Or is there something better I should get? I'm going to do stainless braided lines at the same time I think.
