    It comes about 1/4" higher than the rail. The floorpan allows it right there. Havign ti come that high wasnt really necessary, I could have made it flush.

    Thanks. I like my front shock setup too. I hadnt seen any I liked before, they all looked out of place, or like a last minute thought. So I tried to make it look like I planned it out that way. I limit my lift a little though. Theyre fully extended at 12 inches of lift. Not bad for a shock with like 3.5" of travel though, and they're stiff!

    Doetsch Tech. I won them. They retail at like $80 each. I hope they ride nice.

    I've had my truck for 13 months now. I've been working on it for about 12. First month I just took stuff off while I saved for airbags and link parts.

    1/4" plate and 3/16" wall 1" tube. Little overkill maybe.

    Hmm...

    Will those fit a 92? I have been looking for wheels for a while, but Torq Thrust II's at around 225-275 a wheel is too high, and these are under 500 for all 4 is a deal. Plus I can get them un-chrome and just silver powdercoated, to look bette on my truck. I hate to kind of copy...but we live far enough apart! :)

    I just hope I don't have to raise my front end with these. :(

    They won't simply bolts up. You'll spend a couple hundred modifying them after you get them. Then they're non-returnable.

    Check out Enkei LM1s. You can get them pretty cheap and they look similar. Also Eagle 025s. They come ready to bolt up, and both look similar.

    So I'm guessing the back of the hub has to be milled down like a 1/2" or something so they will fit inside the fenders?

    That sucks! :(

    You have any pictures of the back of yours.

    No, they will tuck just fine. Milling off the back of the hub is not safe. They won't bolt up to your front hubs though without modification. A lot of material has to be removed.
