Going to try to get them on the truck tomorrow.

1.5" Zone also come in. Not sure when it will be installed.
Tahoe grille, paint to match top pad, new valance, tahoe handles are all here.

Bumpers will come off for a little while so I can paint them as well.

Love your builds
 
Hey, did moto metal fuck your wheels up where they are drilled for the lugs?
I just got some 962s in black for my boat and it looks like some degenerate took a wire wheel and scratched the shit out of every rim, Around every hole where they were drilled
 
Put the wheels on today. They scrub pretty bad so I went ahead and took the bumper off since it has to come off anyways for body lift and paint. Going to find some ford keys also since I have some more lift I can get out of the front. Still have a long ways to go.
Also 4.25" bullet center caps WILL NOT work on these wheels. The fit is too tight. To get it out you have to damage the cap. Not worth it to me so I threw the caps on that come with the wheels for now until I get some smaller caps.

1.5" Body Lift installed today. Still have to get rear brackets and paint my bumpers so I'll be riding without a front for a little while.

About the 4.25" caps, they fit fine you just have to beat them in from the back. They don't just slide in and you have to cut the lip off the end of em. It doesn't visibly hurt the cap at all from what you can see once they're in. I can pm you pics if you want

You're right they dont. I hammered one in. The problem is getting it back out without damaging the cap. Not worth the hassle on the ones I got. Going to try to find some that are a hair smaller.

Once you beat them in once, they just pop out with a tap of a piece of wood. Same with going back in! The only trouble is getting them in the first time

Must just be the caps I have. I got some bullet ones. I have an idea to make them work. Going to try when I have time.

oh these are the ones I got. 4 for $12 lol. I just ground the lip off, beat them in, then used the bevel on the wheel to give the caps a lip. Here's a pic of that.
