Looks like your truck could be my trucks brother. Personally, keep the wheels I will tell you one thing though. After I went from my chrome stockers to my painted black wheels, I very seldom get stoplight races. I think it lets people know "something" is up

Ive kinda noticed the same thing as well, of course it might have been location as well but when I had my chromes while staying in PA kids in cars always messed around. Now back in VA with the blackies on... No one does anything at lights but give the every once in awhile.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm loving the way it looks myself. The Caltracs aren't very hard to install if you have a press. It took me about 4.5 hours of steady work to do the whole job. Including the front. I also removed my overloads while I was at it and put in a 2 degree shim. I cut a set of stock coils one full coil on each side. I then cut an extra inch and a half on the passenger side in an attempt to fix the lean. It still sits about 1/2 inch lower on the drivers side with out my 210lbs in it. I might pull the passenger side out and cut another inch and a half later to see what that will give me. Hopefully i'll have my transmission rebuilt over the holidays and will be ready to go back to the track in January or early Febuary. I'm looking for an 11 sec pass. I've changed pulley sizes, will be changing to a different converter and done the suspension since the last time I went so hopefully I'll see some improvement. I still need to dial in the tune as well..
