Literally about to give up hope on finding wheels. Weld's dragging ass yet again and cannot get a rendering of the 6 lug 6 spoke design that they keep saying they are releasing. I've waited 8 months now for this to happen with no avail. About to just settle and order some forces again.

Also anyone know how low you can actually bring one of these FTS' down in the front before angles get too straight? I would like it at a solid 7" or maybe a tad less if doable.

You can lower it down perfectly level like oem, but I think the ifs handle a little better with an inch of crank or so on them.

Guess the 1 1/16" front/back difference will stay. It was hiked up bad in the rear with the stock block and 6" FTS block. Now it seems to ride better and not so yeeyee.

I'll wait until the other wheels and tires are on before I drop it down any more.

Now for rimps.

^had to turn brightness up on this one. Made it look filtered af when I did.

So guess that's it until I decide on a forged wheel. Ordering hoops and doing them red since I'm doing chrome resis. Red backing black for cross member. Then onto painting/chroming the atlas packs once they arrive.

Considered painting rear housing but am going to powder it flat black and do a chrome cover. Shock flip is necessary before this though.


Power steps should be here in a week or so as to not ruin the seats with my fat ass getting in and out of it. All new interior to match the console lid is in the making should be 8 more weeks. Gave up on trying to find oem a/c seats and settled on my factory ones for now until I find a decent set that the pigtails haven't been cut out from under(why you would destroy the whole wiring to a seat I have no idea)

XD820's is all I know. I can't remember what they call them term wise. Trying to find a push through cap to do away with this one. It's not as big as I thought but would be cleaner without logo.

Never posted but did this a few months back. Sort of at a stand still.

Finally got a daily to swing and toy with while I finally tear the truck down and do it right so I’m not rushing to get it together to drive it every day.

well the only other option is the slt style or the denali style. I swapped from the slt to the denali ones in my fronts, partially because my handle broke but the "leather" insert and interior handle are nice. they aren't cheap though, but there is no price difference between slt and denali ones, at least when I ordered.

Agreed with fellow Wop, the slt, denali, ltz door panels and handle are a big improvement compared to the poorly designed lower model door panels. I cant stand using that handle way in front and the cutout at the bottom for the ext. cab seat belt location.
