Re: building my first lowered truck

any raised white letter tire will work. just sand it down. i used a flap disc which wasnt a good choice. there are a few videos on youtube

Re: building my first lowered truck

thanks for the kind words.

got a question smart guys. for doing brake lines should i get a 37* or 45* flaring tool? i was told it depends on the fittings i choose to use but i dont know which would be better or if only a certain type will work on my stock brakes
