yea it was a bit of a hard decision to leave'em black or go chrome. but since my truck is that metallic charcoal, the lift kit was being powdercoated a metal color, and i'm leaving my grille and front bumper chrome, i figured chrome was the way to go. of course i might change it later and have'em powdercoated black if i get tired of it, who knows...

if i end up doing a blog site it'll probably be on it's own domain

lol no not yet. im suppose to pick up the wheels this week and put the truck into the suspension shop hopefully by this weekend. all depends on how well the chroming goes for the remaining wheels. if the finish doesnt come out perfect then it has to be stripped down and replated. so far so good though. i should be picking them up thursday, putting the truck into the shop friday, and getting it back ready for gears on monday

thats gonna look bad ***. I wish I would have got 4.88 gears now. The only prob with my truck being 2wd and lifted is the SNow. I look retarded sometimes. But oh well. Maybe now that I am not lowering it I might get a BL and bigger tires...
