How in the world did you get 15" rims to fit over the brakes?

Oh, welcome to the site by the way. These trucks really come alive with a good exhaust. Id get some headers, O2 sims, cut outs, and get rid of the cats.

Yes, headers work extremely well on the trucks. Especially after some bolt-ons and of course even more so with internal mods. Stay away from the shorties and go with long tubes like ASM's or TOG's.
