    That's a ticket all day long here in SC. We can't have any red or blue lights upfront. Looks nice though.

    I sprayed directly to the chrome. I didn't scuff the chrome just incase I wanted to remove the plasti dip.

    I seem that. Is looks like their version of plastidip. Does it feel just like plastidip? Or is it more like paint?

    That clear plastic pc and the black trim below it comes off very easily. Incase you want to clean them. It's looking good!

    Washed her.
    At @WarEagleSteve suggestion, I used an all purpose cleaner to strip the previous cleaner off the tire before applying Waxaddicts tire cleaner.

    Before and after

    I think the shine has come through a bit more now that it's dried up some. :thumbsup:

    Thanks Steve!

    This is what I've used for years to clean my tires before I put a shine to them. I spray on the tires scrub with a coarse bristle brush and rinse off. It's crazy how much road grime rinses off the tires. Which cleaner did you use Sean?IMG_9027.jpg

    I've been using Adams Polishes tire shine (spray on) with great results. I used Simply Green as the all purpose to remove the previous shine.

    Put my shackles in on Saturday. Took the driver side stock shackle off in about 2 minutes. The passenger side took nearly an hour. The bottom bolt was seized in the stock bushing. It was a nightmare. I had to cut the stock shackle just to be able to get more working ability to get the bolt out.

    Done though now....ha

    You can buy new bushing, but my truck only has 19k on it so I decided to re-use my stock bushings. Im pretty damn happy w the ride height right now. As soon as I order my new leaf springs, the shackles are all yours Kris.

    I'm not sure. I've had the tires on just over a year, but it's mainly a weekend warrior.
