Thinking that is how I will leave mine. I do need to touch up the paint on the hubs. That and powder coat the nuts again, well the second set.

Lorenz Suspension, 3" IR Coils, SwayAway 2.5" shocks
As for rub, I get a little fender contact on the passenger lower fender. The contact is only with 3/4 of a turn and hitting bumps. Think that may be a bit of a alignment issue. No contact on the drivers side, the passenger looks like it is set back a bit. Either way I plan on making some room on both sides for the tires. It has been to hot to be outside and put the suspension through its paces. I plan on cycling the suspension through the entire arc and turning radius and adjust the lower fender corner to make enough room. Thinking it is just a 1/2" adjustment, the lower fender should be able to take it. Just a little nudge.
The tires also hit the control arms at full lock. I will just limit the steering. I may also get my H2 wheels done and see how that changes the control arm contact. I should do them any way, get them powdercoated with the rear bumper.
Thanks for all the nice coomplements.

Scoutman, I had mine done too. Locally, I paid $80 to have all 4 wheels sandblasted and $100 to have them powdercoated black. Also, I spent another $48 having the tires swapped over to the powdercoated wheels and rebalanced/mounted etc. Pretty reasonable imo.

my wheels were a bit less than that, but in the range. 200-250 for the project.
I bought a second set of wheels to keep the truck on the road during the powdercoating time.
One think I learned you need to remove the powdercoating on the hub mouting area. It is a tight fit and the powder can shrink a already tight gap. I need to pull mine to do that some more. I dont want to be stuck taking them off and have them painted together. I will also remove the paint from the lug nut seats (lack of a better term) to get better contact. Also to not chip and remove the powder...
Thanks

Just re-read 4x4nots post. The shocks are a 10" travel 2.5" Diamater Remote Reservoir shocks. They are a bit longer than stock. I dont recall if they are 2.5" longer. But any way.
The suspenion is from Lorenz. He has a few options on suspensions now.
