Looking good man!
I had buff the Caliper sides about a millimetre and worked out great.
I loved the way it turned out, the guy I talked too said would deffinetly work so I tried it, worked out for the best.

That is a great looking truck man and the tires really set it off. I love fabrication projects.

Default Day 4...

Damn Christmas gives me no time to do anything, Im gonna try to install my strut spacer, trim and move front bumper and hopefully be able to drive my damn truck today, theres no room in the front wheelwell atm so I can only turn around 15 degrees haha.

Ill try and finish er up and post the finished picks. (After a good wash.)

Default ok

if you need help what size strut spacer are you installing??? and what type(under or over spring).... and what is the spec of your 15'' rim you are using ex:15x8 0 offset would be the perfect fit... give us the spec so we can calculate if you do need wheels spacers and how thick....

i regret my 16'' now that i know 15'' can fit our truck...ALOT CHEEPER!!!for same size!!!!
