Ordered some clear corners tonight. Should help finish up the front end of the truck for me. Think im going to hold off on my HD hood idea for awhile. See how everything looks once I get the keys and shackles on.

Also thinking about switching to some 265/50-20 tires. Anyone running tires in this size? They are the same 30.5" tall that my 265/60-18s are on my winter wheels. Hoping the nearly 1" inch difference over my 285/50-20s will help track times slightly.

Trans parts will be here Thursday. Just waiting for drop keys and clear corners. Really need to order a new wheel hub as well... Any suggestions on where to get one?

Thanks man! Was looking at Timken on a couple other sites and ordered one from Amazon for under $120.

Looks like Ill have all my parts by next weekend.

That'll give myself a month to get everything put in. Hopefully Justin will be in town before I leave for Ocean City. Not sure I wanna take the truck that far untuned for the trans stuff.

Another update today... Drop keys came in thanks to robert85. So hopefully Ill get those, my shackles, and new wheel hub(when it comes in) installed and realigned before the end of September.

Also got my clear corners in today from Pro Tunning Lab. Im only naming the company so anyone else looking for corner lights will know about them. Part of the passenger side housing was chipped off but did not affect how it was installed(no biggie). The main thing that irked me was the clips that hold them in had to have some leftover casting material filed off(no biggie). And the driver side housing, the holes where the socket tabs insert were off from factory but was able to install with out much issue. Again, not a big deal. The overall look on their product is great. Picture doesnt do them justice.
