My dreams came true today!

I've been doing side work and saving for the past two years...I've dreamed of the moment I put chrome 20's my 72 for five years...it all came together today. I couldn't be happier

Coys are very nice, they really look good on your truck! What are you saving for now that you bought wheels?

Re: My dreams came true today!

Well...I kinda overspent but I'm now I'm gonna finish the interior...I would love to relocate the gas tank, new seat, billet sterring wheel....I have carpet and kick panels and some other stuff for the interior but it's gonna take a while to get everything together to complete it. I also need a tonneau cover. My nova needs some love too...So I might have to change my focus for a while

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.

Ya, I went with 20x10 with a 5.5 BS - 275.35.20
20.8.5 with a 5 BS - 245.35.20

I was pretty freaked out about all the numbers but it really turned out to be perfect...The fronts are tucked just a tiny bit more than I would like but i'm super happy. I think I'm gonna try to lower the back a little more to get it level.
