yea got another set.
i sold the other set but kept the tires since i needed 2 for my ralleys.
traded the other 2 and a lil bit and mean lil bit of cash for these rollers.
all they needed was a good cleaning and 1/2 a day of polishing.

thanks for the comment.
btw I need opnions. thinking of lowering a bit more. mainly just the front to level the gaps. and thinkin of ordering wheels but I'm at a fork in the road and decide between some 18x10`s or 20`s. either way I really want polished aluminum or painted. I'm gonna post a couple of wheels and see what everyone thinks.

Your truck looks great with the 89-91 nose on it.

Man once again, sorry about those 20s. If you are going to order wheels I would look into the Coys. You can get them at a decent price.

Those wheels would really set it off. I think that's a good choice.

That was the wheels I was trying to think of the other day. I would go with the 20x8 front and 20x10 rear, that setup would look great. I have a friend that has this setup on his truck and it looks sweet! Here are a couple of pictures of his 20x10s to help you make up your mind ;D

If you are going to go bigger, go for the 20's, they will be cheaper than the 18's as more manufacturers are using them.
