Are you using spacers?
Vin63 11-07-2007, 05:39 PM looking forward to the pics
X2...excellent choice on the wheels!
signguy 11-07-2007, 06:27 PM Do you think I need a spacer?
Just kidding! Using Fred's 2" spacers. :D
Will post pictures for sure- I looked at a lot of wheels before opting for the alcoa classics.
Hoping I have enough space for the 285's with the Incognito leveling kit/UCA. I should make it but it will be close.
ChuckZilla 11-07-2007, 07:15 PM Nice dude!! That's gonna look sweet! DON'T FORGET THE PICS.

07 MAX 11-13-2007, 12:59 PM Beautiful set up. How much did it throw your speedo off? :D
signguy 11-13-2007, 01:43 PM I don't know- I will check in a day or two but it "feels" like 5 mph. Will check with the GPS and let you know.
FLSTFI Dave 11-13-2007, 02:24 PM Signguy,
Looks real good. Did you cank up the front torsion bars for the rubber to clear?
signguy 11-13-2007, 03:50 PM I installed the cognito uca with bilsteins all around and new keys.
jim87vette 11-13-2007, 05:46 PM I forgot how good they look brand new, very nice . I need to spend a day or two getting mine all shinned up again .

Now, that's what I'm talking about! Those look really nice!
ChuckZilla 11-13-2007, 09:10 PM Nice! You're gonna love the 285's!
signguy 11-14-2007, 08:10 AM Chuck-
seeing your set up is what pushed me over the edge.
Heading to Mexico tomorrow with the toy hauler- will see how these new shoes do in the sand with 17k in tow!
STPETEBLUE 11-14-2007, 02:41 PM Signguy, that is nice looking!
Deere3594 11-14-2007, 05:04 PM Very nice! And like jim87vette said, I need to clean my Alcoa's up on my 94 dually now!
signguy 11-15-2007, 09:36 AM Thanks for all of the compliments fellas-
I am very happy with the way it turned out.
Raeuber 11-15-2007, 05:46 PM signguy, they look really good. How much green did the whole setup set you back?
ratpowered67 11-15-2007, 09:56 PM wow, looks great! i love it.........
SaguaroKid 11-16-2007, 11:09 AM Nice!!! Thanks for the pics.
SmokeShow 11-16-2007, 03:14 PM absolutely perfect!!! If I could, I'd order your truck to the letter - White GMC LMM CC DRW 4wd alcoas w/ 285s. Shooo, I'll have sweet dreams tonight. :D
C-ya
RLCMOTORSPORTS 11-18-2007, 05:04 PM did you have to put spacers on the rear to clear the 285's ? new to this and just wondering? BTW it looks really damn good!

signguy 11-26-2007, 09:32 AM Well after 10 days in Mexico it is nice to be home.
The truck was absolutely flawless and the tires worked great. I pulled several friends out of the sand- (one was even a Furd) and two were motorhomes!
With the new tires I am turning about 1600 rpms in sixth gear at 60 mph. The trailer weighed in at just over 17,500 pds on the way South. I could not be happier with the setup of the truck.
Thanks agian for all of the compliments!
