Finally, Got my 22s on..

Well, after a long long wait I finally got my 22s on my truck. I haven't been able to do anything as I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands over the last 4 months. Finally was somewhat able to get the wheels on.

The picture is dark and blurry, It started to get dark quick because my battery and alternator are dead. By the time I got truck started it was too late. I will get more tomorrow or Saturday hopefully!

Re: Finally, Got my 22s on..

I have stock height bump stops up front because I needed them with some other wheels I had on before. After I remove them the front will drop down about an inch more.

Re: Finally, Got my 22s on..

Thanks guys, I think its just my battery so im going to swap it out tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to get some more better pics before it gets dark, if not saturday for sure. I am very happy with the wheel choice and finish I chose, it actually works very well with the paint color.

Re: Finally, Got my 22s on..

Re: Finally, Got my 22s on..

There is a 1" difference front to rear right now and I can actually tell just from pulling it in and out of the garage, Feels like the front sits really high.

The caps didn't fit over the truck hubs, I ordered the taller ones yesterday. The wheels were made to go over 14" wilwoods so thats why the center caps dont fit.

Re: Finally, Got my 22s on..

It got dark on me tonight so I wasn't able to get any pics. Im going to pull the truck out first thing tomorrow morning and take a bunch. Its supposed to be nice out tomorrow. I took out the bump stops and it sits perfect for a static drop, there's only one problem now.
The wheels are almost sitting on the inner fender structure! I just ordered some trailer fenders and im going to have to put those in now.

Re: Finally, Got my 22s on..

Ok here are a few brighter pics, I cant take really good ones because the way my driveway is and I cant drive the truck down the road right now until I get the trailer fenders welded in so this will have to do for now.

Truck is dusty from sitting in the garage for the past 6-7 months! And center caps should be here soon.
