That's brilliant use of plastidip 69. Perfect way to protect the finish for you Yanks.

Definitely a neat idea if you polish your wheels.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I am looking at the same wheels for my 72 stepside. Would you share what you backspacing is on your wheels? Do you know Tim Christian? Thanks! R.V.
