Tires- 295/75 r16 kO 2

Should probably fix the rust next, or any of the other 26 issues this truck has. If anyone has and questions let me know.

Wheels and tires look good. Your rear shackles are upside down. Any rubbing when turning sharp?

 

[trevor philipps]

Good call on the shakels, I'll fix that later today while working on the steering. Seems to be ok from rubbing.

Are you running Vision X Vortex headlights? IF so, you happy with them?

Wheels are these

Headlights are these, just an amazon special... they work amazing compared to stock.

However I would recommend going with a set that actually has the amber colored blinker ability. I don’t think the blinker on these is technically legal when hooked up, as it does not have the amber color when flashing.

Looks great! I love the way 295/75s look on these old cruisers.

Don't feel too bad about installing the rear shackles upside down. I made the same mistake when I installed my lift earlier this year.

What's the story with your energy bushings? Any reason you didn't use the OME bushings?

 

[trevor philipps]

I used energy suspension bushings on a Subaru wrx build I did 2 years earlier and liked them. Figured I would stick with brand loyalty, and I would not have enough experience to know any different as well. Rides way better than what I started with.

Not really split rims, they are just the solid rims that look like splits. Link to Stockton Wheel is above.

Nice looking rig!
Then wheels look great!

 

[trevor philipps]

Actually.... they are from summit racing. Link is above. I guess they may originate from Stockton, not sure.

Thank you for all the great feedback. Hopefully I’ll have some more updates on progress as I get some more time to work on it this winter.
