I hear Ya! Can't believe that steel wheels are so expensive. Sure don't want them scratched.

I got my hubcaps and trim rings from Hubcap Mike and had a good experience with them. Nice folks and good product. I wanted both stainless steel.

Yep....I refinished my wheels back then and put the trim rings and hubcaps on.....haven't seen a need to remove them....lol. The trim rings do grab on good but I like that. Even if they do scratch some of the paint I can either touch em up or in my case just put the trim rings back on. No worries.

How far away are you from completing the suspension changes. I would really like to know how it turns out. And I would really like to see pictures. I am going to make some changes soon. Thanks

Was just looking for shock help and saw I didn't post pictures. Enjoy!! And if anybody has suggestions about front shocks I'm still fighting the fight. Got two pair but neither allows much travel with the 5" drop mono front spring.






Old bearing were made in China! Changed to so US made bearings.




Rotor installed with Disk brake bracket.




Caliper & stainess steel flex able brake line installed.




Drag link rebuilt with new boots.
