I love it but it was hard to paint due to the paint being very chunky and hard to mix. Also it sprayed very tbin and light so several coats to get the right shade. I am happy with the slight mettalic look. It really pops out in the sun.

yeah it worked out perfect. I just measured the travel from fully aired out to max and found a decent shock that had fit it. It rides so much better in the front. No more bouncing up and down after hitting a bump. Next plans are 20s if I can sell my rallies for a decent price. Looking at black Boss 338's. They are cheap and look good.

Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build
Well i gave in and purchased a set of 20x8.5 Black Boss 338's!! Suppose to be here this week but don't hold your breath. I am not staggering it since mine is fully bagged and the rear would not fit with a 20x10. The tires are a hankook 245/45R20. Good size rubber so it will still ride nice. I can't wait and have been checking out everyones ride that has these rims. Love the look and will post a pic asap!!

Why won't the rear fit a 20x10?

the rear would hit the inner side of the bed. I would have to have Boss custom make the rear if I wanted to have it staggered. Also it has become my daily driver so i need to get good miles out of the tires so now I can rotate them to have them last longer!
