Western makes a 2" spring hanger that you buy alone. The price is decent, but they show $22 shipping... does that sound right?? How heavy are the hangers?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I finally picked out some wheels, by the way. $170 per wheel for 17x8 or 17x9.5. Click here to see them.

The hangers are pretty heavy, I'd say that's a fair shipping price.

The Eagle 213 is a nice looking wheel. I think BigJ has them on his truck. Either that or they are Boyds. The 213 is a knock off of a Boyds style, only lower price. Here is his pictures:BigJ's truck What size tires? A 275/60/17 looks good, so does a 275/55/17. Personally, I don't like the 255 wide tires on our trucks. If you get a 255 series tire, make sure you can get 5" backspacing. If you go with a 275 series, a 5.5" backspace will look fine.

I have 3" springs on mine and yes it did settle, but when I changed the shocks, it brought it back up. Just my experience.
