Had them installed Monday, strange the difference, somehow the truck appears smaller and more manageable. Surely it's more practical. My steering box could be tighter for sure, but I noticed it handled better on the freeway with the 9.75", though better low speeds with the 8.25". Works for me, I don't drive it further than 5-15 miles anyway, and this aint no metropolis.
As mentioned I did this because I don't want to spend $450ish a tire for fat mags on the rear. Heck, the truck was only 3K. When all said and done the new wheels and two tires cost me $900 anyhow
Pending trying to sell off the old for couple hundred bucks.
I have to get the blue bowtie stickers Tim mentioned for sure, the guy showed me a chrome valve stem, he ends up installing yellow gold instead
No big deal, the more flash the better the contrast, the pictures don't do the body rust justice.
Go figure yesterday the battery dies just as I arrive home. Suited two trucks 6-7 years, I don't need to test it. When it rains it poors man, just bought one for my Tundra and it needs tires too.
