Default new wheels!

Got the front wheels on. need to do some work to get the 18x9's to fit in the rear. fronts are 17x7. I really like the look! Have to notch part of the frame where the front sway bar is rubbing. only an inch or so.

SSBC force 10 brakes. gonna powder coat them soon. the hood prop is custom. building a hood prop has not been on the top of my priority list. Im torn between 5 1/4 and 5 3/4 backspacing on the rear wheels. The block was there so i knew when to stop to give the truck enough room in the side yard.
