hey dodgebuzz, u really dug this one up. the best of luck getting you some srt-10 20" replica wheels . hope this tread helped you out.

and for the spring cut update . it's doing ok but it needs some new struts. i am waiting to see what people think of the new monroe struts, or the 08 dakota struts. some lowering parts would be nice.

oh and as for tires . since i think the 275/45-20's look a little small. i just ordered (2) 295/45-20'S to see if i can run them up front,if so i will order 2 more , if not i will put them out back. this will get me back to 30.5" tall , and really wide !!!!!! hope it works ?

do you think the springs caused the struts to wear out or is it just time for new ones? i have 42K on mine and they seem fine(ish)
I doubt it, I've blown through 3 of those struts already and I don't even go off-road. Don't hit a lot of potholes either, ever since my integra w/ 18" rims and low profile tires I've been extremely good at avoiding them

no the spring cut didn't cause the struts to wear out. just want some that want let the truck bounce around so much. the 20's and the lowering helped but it's still not right.

I hear you there, I want to remove my TM kit and install the rear lowering shackles but I won't do it till I can get decent struts. The TM kit actually made the front somewhat bearable, I'm not going back to stock height on the stock struts, that was hell...

yea ,that's a perfect size. because i wanted something wider, i'm not happy with the height , at the time i didn't think 3/4" was a big deal, and now spending more money to get the look i want. post pics when you get them put on !!!!!
