Wrongo. It isnt mine. They are 22.5" 2 hole steelies shaved to 22" and painted black. Thats really all I know. I know the guy who did the air ride on it.

scotts62 · 04-28-2010, 06:15 PM

Very cool truck!! But im not liking the tub/wheel cover in the back too much but thats just me.

Steel wheels cannot be shaved down to 22" the way they do it is just stretch the 22" tire on the rim, the tires seem to hold up. I have seen quiet a few ppl running them.

That grill would be perfect for keeping chickens out of your rad!

its lowered on stock gmc sierra wheels from the 90's. funky

Evil Trailblazer SS · 04-30-2010, 10:36 AM

Ya, definitely not my style...switching to 1/2ton running gear seems pointless to me also, but I would tow with it. Some of these guys don't want the 8-lug stuff, right?

The picture is not showing up for me, so I might be missing somethign here?
But the point is to have a short bed truck, with room behind the seats for people or things.
Personally, I didn't set out with towing in mind, just wanted more room!

PS; I know you can get the room with a Suburban and better turning radius at that, but I (and I assume most the people doing this) want a truck with a bed.

I did the running gear swap mainly for better ride Quality and beleive me its a night and day difference. Plus with half ton you have better wheel/tire options.

I wanted half ton stuff for weight savings also....the 3/4 and 1 ton stuff is super heavy. My truck, yes I wanted a truck also to haul the family and the dogs, is going to be my daily driver. I didn't really want a truck that was gonna beat me to death empty, and I don't plan on hauling or towing any heavy loads.

I get the tire/wheel options as well as the weight savings, but what do half ton axles have that make them ride different that 3/4 and 1 ton axles? Springs make the ride, not the axles...

Heres a new one.

CHEESE · 04-30-2010, 11:38 AM

I havent been able to find a single person that will mill down a steel wheel! Trevor at tnwheelandtire wont even think about it and he has probably the most milling time out of anybody! He is working on getting some 22 inch steel hoops but, that will be a while! I would like to see a pic of the wheel up close. There isnt enough lip to shave on a steel wheel!!! If you take that much off, the tire will never set a bead!

I know, I don't even see how they would have gotten the tire on the wheel with out bending the wheel.
