got my 20" Coy's

finally, finally, i got my 20" Coys in today!!
i got 20x8.5's w/5 1/4" backspacing up front, and 20x10" w/5 1/2" backspacing in rear, tires are toyo proxy II's, 295-40's on rear, and 255-40's on front (just b/c that seemed to be the most used combo here, and i didnt want to screw up)

i also finally got my western chassis flip kit, and got it installed

i also completed my front end swap, and rear sport bumper swap (just used the suburban outer brackets for now)

now i just got to install my western chassis 2.5" drop spindles and measure for my springs

i kind of like the rear the way it sits, whats your all's opinions?

Re: got my 20" Coy's

looks good, the rear drop looks good, so it looks like your going make it similar to your old truck

Re: got my 20" Coy's

The rims set it off! I don't know if the angles of the pictures are playing tricks on me but is the bed modified? Almost looks as short as a blazer.

me and another guy stood in the bed and jumped up and down while another dude looked at the rear, and the frame wasnt touching...and this was without shocks, so that'll help some when i get those in
