Being rather old school myself, I had been looking at some 16X10 rims
and some Super Swamper TrXus MT Radials in 34x12.50R16LT or perhaps
35x12.50R16LT. I don?t really mind if I have some of the meats sticking
out, as long as I?m not in any danger of crunching a fender. Right now,
my only problem is, every wheel design I like, has the wrong damn bore
dimension! I actually had a Centerline rep tell me with their wheels being
rotary forged, I didn?t have to worry about bore diameter. Hmmmm I say.
Not sure I buy that??Hub Centric is Hub Centric?or...So I thought.

Also, I understood we were talking about a simple leveling kit and not a true
lift kit. I just want to get rid of that stink bug look whether it be via a Truxxx
kit or just cranking the TB?s.

The reason I mentioned Ready Lift, is they manufacture leveling kits
for all manner of vehicles ----(except for the H3 of course). Their leveling
kits are similar, but the keys are forged instead of welded up.
All of their leveling kits for a TB system, seem to be priced around $249.
Heck of a price difference and maybe worth a wait?

If they are gonna make ?em.

I got my Truxxx lift at dealer cost which put me right at $320. I wouldn't have paid the $449 either. If you wanted the Truxxx, I would be glad to get another set at dealer cost, although there would be shipping to TX. I'm sure it wouldn't be $129 worth of shipping though. On your wheels, you're going to have to keep the backspacing at about 4.5", and any difference will be outside the hub.
