    So FINALLY I got a new wheel setup, Cragar D-windowed wheels, with Kumho Ecsta AST's!

    How they looked on the truck

    I hated that the wheels came with the red&blue lip so I sanded them down and wrapped them for some paint!

    First they got sprayed with a grey base

    Then for some candy red!:]

    There's two bolts on the bottom of the truck and you just loosen them and your truck will drop. But if you loosen them enough you're going to need an alignment because your wheels will camber in and you'll ruin your tires after a good little while. I've heard some friends not running alignments but I wouldn't recommend it lol

    Lol yeah I could've gone deeper, but this was my first wheel setup that I bought myself so I was scared that if I went too deep it'd be mexiflushed haha well right now I'm actually selling the truck :cry: I'm definitely going to miss it, but I'm planning on getting a car and building that next!
