Stance question

[yellowK20]

.........and getting the front over obstacles was easier with the front a tad higher.

Your not gonna gain much if any, but you will LOOSE departure angle

I gotta go with level or a tad up in the rear. I don't like the sag look. As for function, on a tow rig or trail rig it serves no purpose to have the rear lower than the front.

how did you get the GM centercaps to fit the H2 wheels?

There are 2 ways to do it...

1. buy the proper caps that fit on alloy wheels, they will fit perfectly inside the lug surface of the H2 wheels.

2. (what I did) don't do enough research, buy the wrong caps that fit the steel wheels, spend about an hour with a cut off wheel trimming them to fit while still leaving the 4 "pins" inside that space them out from the wheel.

I suggest option 1. Unless you already own the wrong ones, like I did.

After that I just drilled through 2 of them with a hole saw for the front hubs to poke through. 2 and 5/8ths" IIRC... it was nearly the exact size of the emlem in the middle.

This is a good stance, just needs bigger tires

Remember when 33s were "big" and 35s were "huge"?

One more thought and then I'll leave it alone, the only time the ass low look is ok is when you have a REAL honest to god pre-runner type truck. If not you just look like one of those Monster chugging flatbiller homos who want "the look".

I ressemble that remark. Except for the flatbiller homo thing.

I still haven't gone bigger than 35"
and now my burb sports 33" tires, I plan on going 35"
I am building a long term project with 40" tires in mind but I don't see where I would need them in the type of places I go to.
I actually went on pretty nasty trails with my 35" tires on the K5, including the Rubicon trail, so I don't see the need to go bigger.

Your truck was what I was thinking when I said Genuine Prerunner,

thanks man, it doesn't appear that any of the auctions on ebay list what rims they're for though, guess I'll have to send out some messages to the sellers.

You can kinda tell by looking at them. If the base of the cap "flares out" around the lug cap holes, it's for steel wheels. If the lug cap holes are the widest part and the base indents in between them, they are for alloys. That's the simplest and best description I can come up with. I basically cut the "flare" off the ones I had so they would fit.

I'll throw in a vote for level or an inch or so down by the stern.... I don't tow with my truck or throw a ton of weight in it, for that matter 8-10 mpg sucks to go anywhere! But for a truck that see double duty as a DD on my short drive to work and part time trail rig I think the road manners are better w a touch of down by the stern; seems weight transfer under breaking is better w/out the butt way up in the air.. Though motorcycle riding will tell you different... My $.02

excellent, thanks for the advice.


so just for posterity .....these are steel rim center caps?
