You can always get them power coated before you install them. Or paint, whatever floats your boat. The rears fit tight because the Titans have a smaller center bore but they'll be fine once torqued down.

UPDATE 1/12/2016:
lowering kit comes in tomorrow. I am gonna install it saturday! Ill be sure to post pics and i have decided to get the charcoal 5 spoke titans and a 2xx/55r18 tires. not sure how wide i should go. i dont wanna rub but i dont wanna have 2 different tire widths for front or back. what would be the biggest i can get under the front without rubbing under full turn on a 2/4 with 18s"?

ill prob buy 265/55r18. but quick question to everyone. Should i buy the stock 06 taillights and put them on or the aftermarket led ones. I dont like chrome or black tails just regular looking. Anyone have suggestions? i feel like the 05 will make me more of a stock truck but the led will kinda slide the truck a little closer to the aftermarket performance type truck. but the stocks look amazing too bluh

Update 1/17/2016: I did it !
Only question is my bumpstops are rotted off so its just the metal piece and its sitting about 2 inches or so from them and if i hit a bump on road i bottom out pretty easy but im unsure if its my stock shocks with 200k miles or just how it is. so should i buy new shocks all around made for a 2/4 like belltech street performance shocks and a new bump stop or just keep my stocks and get a c-notch. I REALLY dont wanna cut the frame. i know that you're beefing it up and stuff but my family members of mine sell cars and they told me that if i cut the frame someone will say the frame has been damaged and try to offer me less even if it is professionally done just cause its the FRAME! not like a fender or something replaceable its the frame. So do you guys think new shocks and bumpstops will solve my problem or should i just notch the frame any will new shocks make the truck sit any higher since the current ones are maybe sagging?

Looks good. IMO notch it, it's super easy. Along with new shocks it'll ride fine. Even with a 4" drop on belltech street performers I would bottom out so I used a DJM c notch to fix that. Comes with small bump stops also.

How hard is the c notch install? I installed my drop at my friends shops with his help and I won't have access to his shop anytime soon. Is it something that I can do in the drive way?
