Wink Re: help with rims for my 72

I went with 20" wheels all the way around. I ended up with a speacial lug nut on back with a 1/4" spacer because of my tire choice.I had to just knock off a little of the front hub for the wheel center to work.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: help with rims for my 72

I just ordered 20's for my 67 fleet, I have a 4/6 drop. I went with newstalgia wheel comp for my billet specialties MAG's. Im hoping in 2 more weeks they will be here. Not sure if i got a deal or not but they were cheaper then buying them direct from bs, and i like the idea of opening the box and putting them on you dont have to worry about the mounting crap.
