Thanks guys..

Went out into the garage yesterday to measure something on the truck, the back tire was almost flat, Nice big SHINEY screw in it! BullSheit! Less then 500 miles on them and already a screw ugh..

what part of the hub did you have to grind to make the wheels fit and how much? thx

bbbc10 · 12-07-2010, 06:37 AM

dang!! your truck is MEAN!! i was lookin at the 225s the other day!

muthstryker · 12-07-2010, 11:47 AM

The only downside the 225s have, is the fact that the centers are polished cast. Meaning you cant polish them to a bright finish like you can the hoops, they appear to be murky.

Any word on your new wheels?

muthstryker · 12-07-2010, 01:12 PM

They take 4-6 weeks to make, its been about 5 weeks. I had a difficult finish done to them so it will take a little longer. Im hoping soon though!

muthstryker · 12-07-2010, 01:33 PM

Annd the wheels are done, should have them in a week or so..

JohnC · 12-07-2010, 04:46 PM

I started out with 5 leafs, I removed the overload and the spring right above it, Honestly I dont really know how it made a difference seeing how I did a flip kit. Only thing I can think of is that I changed the spring rate removing the smaller one and the weight of the bed pushed it down some.

It started out as a 4.5/6 drop but did a 2" drop shackle out back with the flip for a total of 8"s.

On the front I cut a half coil off of the 2" drop spring.

It sits about a 5-6/8 drop right now. My truck still had a 2" stagger due to my wheel sizes.

I ordered from stylin trucks, I think the kit was like $570-600

Thanks Bagged74, My truck should be bagged by next summer!

muthstryker · 12-07-2010, 10:04 PM
