Only way I roll Tom.........LOL

Thanks to Raul@Stealth-Automotive, I got some wrenching done last night.......

new intake over the ol' stocker

Apparently it had some rear shocks off a Nissan Titan and they just weren't cutting it. So after talking to Bilstein technical support we came up with shocks off a 80's Chevy Suburban, closest in valving and shock travel

The front has these TERRRRRRRIBLE Monroe "Reflexes", God were they awful, the front was all over the place

Problem with the front was that Bilstein didn't make the 5100 for the front of the truck, but they did in the 4600's or infamous yellow shocks......

Sooo I decided to break out the ol' rattle can........how they started

How they ended up looking....

Truck handles and rides soooo much better :nod:

For right now till after my up coming road trips, I got a sweet deal on a set of '13 F250 black Platinum wheels......after I get back, I'll be getting it ready for its wide stance

nice man...i'm currently on the hunt for wheels for mine. it's nearly impossible to find a good set of 8 lug "street" looking wheels....

Mini tubs with a 22x14 in the rear and 20x9 in the front

:thumbup:

You got that right, everything 8 lug is for lifted or high negative off-set and I need the tire/wheel to be tucked under the fender so it doesn't hit with has low as the truck sits......

Jesus by 14 :shocked:.......I lil too wide for my taste I think, I want this thing to carve some corners too, not just go fast in a straight line...... so I'll probably do 20x10s all the way around after I finish with the fenders.

There's a bunch of wheels that are flush... 2 sets I had were. Both were welds.

Bmf 20x9 should sit pretty flush. All in the offset.

Also... Might have better luck with 22s...

BlueWaffle · Sep 4, 2013

i can find wheels with a smaller offset but they're still mostly for "offroadish" or 4wd trucks. nothing street looking. KMC has some sick looking wheels but they're mostly for 5-6 lug trucks.

these Ion's and Gear's are growing on me as well...

Ehhh never really liked ions, center caps always look cheap to me, wheel looks decent though... You could prob run adapters ... 8 to 6 lug.

It's been a while since I've looked at wheels.... If I were to do it I'd prob get bmf stealth series 22s .

22" are just too big for my tastes and everyone is running BMF's, not that they aren't badass, I just like to be different

I'm a fan of those and these....

I'm thinking about sticking with chrome or machined this time......I'm starting to get over black, considering my last 5 trucks had black wheels
