Leveling kit, black emblems, and 2nd gen centers on H2 rims (pics)

Well after a year we put the leveling kit on and I love it, should have done it sooner, also painted my 3rd gen emblems black, and put the 2nd gen caps on, this winter the rims and stack are getting powder coated, I miss the look of my old black stockers.

Looks good, and will look really sweet after you get the rims powder coated.

I've seen how to modify those rims to fit on the dodges, but what do you have to do to the center caps to make those fit? I've seen them with the 3rd Gen caps before, but those look really good. Nice truck, man. Where did you get the 3rd Gen badges?

I really like how you painted the emblems black, that would look sweet on my black truck. Did you do anything special to them or just good ol spray paint? Also agree blacked out hummer rims would be nice. I'm just waiting for the moto metals to get off back order so I can have a set.

Great looking truck. With the powder coated wheels and stack you will have a very unique truck. Should just be awesome looking then.

Thanks guys as for the emblems I cant take credit for that, someone here on the forum did it first, I followed his instructions, I scuffed em with a light grit paper, then did 6 coats of Krylon and 2 coats of polyurethan, they look good so far, for the centers I had to cut some of the plastic off of the bottom portion of the cap itself leaving the metal ring that goes around the lugs exposed, the cap itself will not fit into the opening on the rim unless this is done, I then cut 4 slits into the ring and tapped it down as I rolled the cap, this made the ring smaller in diameter and made it snap right on the lugs, I can post some pics later, Thanks again.

That is a very smooth looking truck. I generally prefer dual stacks, but that is one cool looking single.

Looking even better than when you first installed the stack. But def. powdercoat those rims black but leave the stack chrome. It will be the focal point in all the black and would look even sweeter.

do the rims black but dont do the stack IMO. it will look so clean and stand out with everything else black and just a chrome stack and center caps. doing everything black will just look overdone to me.
sharp looking truck tho.
