I know it will be torture but I say save and get some BMF's. Their wheels are the most baddass thing out right now.

 

I'm hoping someday I will be able to save enough for BMF's and a Rancho 4".

 

Nice ride!

Learn from my mistake man! The only reason I went with the Ultra wheels that I have now was because the Novakanes were about $550 more for the set and that was a huge pill to swallow considering the tires I was getting were expensive too.

 

So.... for the past 1.5 years i've been wishing I just pulled the trigger and bought the Novakanes. I'm finally making it right and getting the original wheel that I wanted and have always wanted.

 

Just do it once and do it right (it's tough, i still haven't learned my lesson yet!)

if i get them i will have the stealth nova's!!! I dont get the white :D I mean i can get no problems if i wasnt about to spend 2k for a 9" rear end for my camaro lol I was paling on lifting it after it was paid off. Why i could just run my stockers painted black with some 285's

Like I said... do it right or don't do it at all. Why waste $700-$800 on a set of wheels "just for the time being"? Remember, wheels don't wear out... you have 3 options:

 

1) stick with your stock ones until you're ready to get what you want

2) waste a few bills on a set of wheels that aren't exactly what you want, but aren't stock so you think they'll make you happy (but wont)

3) buckle down and get the wheels you want now... and guess what, they'll still be there for you when its time to lift your truck. Remember, when you lift your truck you're going to be spending a lot of money---- do you really think you're going to spend even MORE money at that time for the right wheels? I don't think so.

 

 

FYI: might have to do some trimming with those BMFs though because they're 9" wide with 5.0" backspace.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
