ok. Thanks todd. Hey did you go get the truck balanced after that? Mine needs to be balanced and with the wheels i have on its imposible cuz the guy hacked them on. I heard that if I grind the tabs down than they wont be able to balance them cuz the cone they use wont have anything to go on.

They are talking about the tabs on the axle flange(what your drums slide over) in the rear and on the hubs in the front

yea. Theyre talking bout the only tabs that are disturbing the wheel from going in. Which are the ones on the hub.

my rims slid right on no issues... currently still using stock lug nuts, although they dig in to the rim, so i should get the acorn style mentioned... i am missing centers... i am still tossing around the idea of the same paint scheme you are running but maybe black chrome or heavy brake dust/gun metal...lol

i used regular high temp spray can paint but I really heated it on there good. I used a torch and a lamp and I taped the lip as best I could.
