Drty,

The front grill and the license plate surround are both still chrome, you missed those. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Jason, how does that wheel combo work? I think the "recommended" wheel size for 18" wheels are 325*65*18's. Any rubbing or odometer issues?

Don't you mean recommended tire size for 18" wheels?

You're right, "tire" is correct. It was half past midnight when I replied.

Wow. That looks very nice. How wide are the wheels? Is there any rubbing?

Thanks.

first i want to thank Jason for down sizing and posting for me....ty.........ty all for your comments....i'like the look too....everybody around here likes the boyd cottington rims.......to go this route with no lift you must crank up the torsion bars...find a good front end shop,i went to 5 diff places, even dealer(dealer wouldn't do it)...i know all h2's are a little diff in the front end adj's from factory from old posts here..i had about 7 turns left on torsion bars...to match height of front and back wheel wells i had to go up about 1 and 1/8 of an inch but that made the torsion bars to stiff to get that height.. so we backed them off down to 3 and a 1/2 turns and i had a height in the front of close to an inch....now all this was done with stock rims and tires on truck... the toe in was out 7/32 and was adjusted in to specs....when i left the front end shop right away i noticed the truck rode much better with the front end a little stiffer..i mean a big difference...i think the factory sets them up a little to soft.....the tires are quiter than the stock tires going down the highway...i can't hear the nitto's at all....no big change in the speedometer.....no rubbing during normal use,but if off roading hard they will rub for sure....as you can see they fill up the wheel well....as for the harley limited....thats the #1 question i get asked........thanks again.............soft... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
