yes i know. I'm not sure if I'm going to put on the shackles now. If the add a leafs bring me to level or close ill be good. then ill go for a 2'' body lift and be done (so I say lol).

I've got an add a leaf, 2 inch shackle, and a 2 inch body lift and all I did was crank the torsion bars. It's not level but thats not what I was going for but doesn't look too bad.

How did the paint work out. Did you spray the entire rim? Just courious how it will hole up to a tire machine.

worked out great! 2 layer of self etching primer, 3 layers of that pain, then 3 layers of a clear coat to help protect. All Dupli-Color brands. I got new tires put on my blazer a week after I painted the rims. It held up well. I did paint the entire rim. I think I'm going to paint my lug nut covers silver. When it gets warmer out, I'm going to put on a couple more layers of the paint and clear coat for even more protection.
