Looks good...I'm a fan of a little more meat because of road conditions....how are they where you live? It at least will be a good test on how tough the rims are ;)

I got the DJM 5" flip kit, and the rear wheels on tonight. My axle to frame clearance is about 2 inches so I'm not going to notch it yet. After I do the 5" front drop tomorrow I'll see if she sits level and go from there. I'm also thinking about some spacers to push the wheels out a little closer to the fenders. I have a brand new set of lowering shackles in case I decide to go lower.

Here's the 5/5 drop. I'm getting the truck aligned tomorrow. It looks like the front is higher, I guess I have to give the front springs time to settle.http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...244-picsay.jpg

Thanks guys, the truck in getting a front end alignment right now. More pics when I get her home. The wheels are nice for the money, and the belltech nitrodrop2 shocks ride good. Nothing rubs.

Do people still cruise 42nd street? I lived in Midland from 1981 to 1989 and we used to go to Odessa and cruise.

Re: Eagle 225 wheels
 
i guess, mostly high school kids. the adult racers go to the tracks on the weekends. we use to have a few good underground race spots on old county roads outside of town, but i havent been in years. the craziest cruise spot in Odessa was Clements street on the south side, but the cops are real bad and they shut it down early.

Thank You for your reply! Did you have any fitment issues upfront?

Nope, I have the HD 1 1/4" rotors and the wheels bolted right on. I guess Eagle fixed the problem with a new wheel design.
