Are those the Boss wheels? Looks great against the black frame.

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.

No. Very similiar, they are like a cross between the Coys and the Boss wheels. Straight bolt on, no modification needed with good B.S. Showwheels Streeters, bout the same maybe a bit less than the Boss setup.

Only potential downside to them is the brand is carved into one of the spokes, but I don't mind it, especially for the price.

20 x 8.5, come in polished, black, or as shown gray and polished lip. IIRC backspacing on the 8.5s is 5.25. Direct bolt on, not hub clearance or dust cap clearance issues. I bought them off eBay from Ron's wheels and they were shipped straight from showwheels. There are a few small imperfections in them , but you have to be examining them to find them. I didn't pay Coy prices and didn't expect a flawless wheel.


I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. I'll be putting 10" wide ones with 295 tires on the back.

showwheelsusa.com

I found them when another member posted (red 67 c10 out in California, with a really nice build, I forget his handle), posted a thread with them.

That is the one. I h visited that page in your build thread many times. Also the name stamped in them isn't nearly as noticeable as it appears to be in photos IMO. Love the wheels.
