The spring rate isn't overly aggressive and the rebound adjustment in each shock really gives you the ability to fine tune the ride quality.
Its nice being able to dial in the ride using that adjustment instead of just settling with whatever comes out of the box with other kits.
Im really happy with the way it turned out.

Simple and clean! I like it a LOT!

Stormin08 · 09-10-2018, 10:16 PM

The goal was a timeless hotrod flavor..truck has been done since 2012. Only had about 10k miles since done.

Work.just didnt allow any time to really enjoy, mostly parts store runs and a couple cruises.

smbrouss70 · 09-11-2018, 02:34 PM

I'd say you nailed your goal.

Stormin08 · 09-16-2018, 08:12 AM

I will have to dig up the specs...
They are actually Coys, bought 10 yrs ago.

18 x 7 front
20 x 8 rear

I decided to go 20" front this year...and they sent a wheel spec'd for the rear.

I decided to keep them and order the correct 20...i felt it would be easier to sell 4 wheels vs 2.

When they arrive, i will have 4 for sale.

The new will also recieve a 1/8" red pinstripe at the beads edge.

Stormin08 · 09-19-2018, 04:23 AM

I hope to have it buttoned up in about 2 weeks...

I want to get the motor running and tuned, then going to fab up some inner panels and whel wells.

Here's some of my 98 with 2/4 in drop.

Gordoimp · 11-05-2018, 11:46 PM

I am new to this truck thred and truck scene . I have a question I would like to run some chrome Irocs 22x9.5 frunt and 24x10 in rear but the only come in a +10 of set .. I am running a 4/6 drop would like to know if these wheels will work .. any help would be great ...

SCOTI · 11-06-2018, 10:46 AM

Looks like:

Front wheel back spacing would be around 5.5 - 5.75". Rears would be around 5.75 - 6.0":

Gordoimp · 11-06-2018, 11:54 AM

Thanks Scoti .. so would I have any problem with these wheels ?

Mathematically? They should fit.

Me? I would break out the measuring tape & use my current wheels/tires to determine w/more certainty of a yes or no. Look for things that are close to interfering & see how much wiggle room you have.

Stormin08 · 11-06-2018, 07:19 PM

dont forget to error on the larger side to accommodate tire bulge...i have a couple scrub marks on my tires from hard cornering

Gordoimp · 11-06-2018, 08:34 PM

Ok thanks for all the help and info Stormin08/SCOTI

Gordoimp · 11-06-2018, 08:36 PM

Hope the wheel combo works
