Hey Dave, or anyone else....

Have you dealt with Mr. Wheel Deal in Illinois before?

http://mrwheeldeal.com/b/

I have never heard of them but I just asked them for a quote on 4 KMC XD wheels to Montana.

They are $180 total cheaper than Tirerack & $220 cheaper than Tiresbyweb who I have used before.
They admittedly are a very small company doing drop ships from the manufacturers, but $180 is enough beer for me to consider them.

No SIR but was given the name by a friend of a friend who had good things to say,thats why i checked them out. Around here for the Goliath, no one would come close to his prices even when shipping was 150.00 though Fed Ex.Probable pull the trigger on some in the spring-----rims/Glacier diesel ladder bars/finish my Carli starter and few others goodies are on next years list.

Tried adjusting the whole left pipe in the spring when installing the rear Bilstien 5100,less than 1/8 before contact---its a tight even around the BFG KM 2 oversize spare(33.5) too but,no burning/melted rubber yet.

Sorry, but I saw the same! That's the only reason I don't like dual exhaust! I'm running the Nitto Trails but your truck looks good with those & no spacers!
