I got my adapters and 19.5's from chromewheel.com. They're strong, I've grossed 35000lbs+ with no problems. Brakes won't suck as bad with 19.5's but you'll be replacing pads about every 40,000 miles but you'll be looking good

I win!!! What a pain that was!! I had the guy install them for me and we had to move and modify the front bumper, cut out a bunch of the plastic inner fender skirts, crank up the torsion bars 8 turns, and remove my rear mud flaps. But man I love it!!! it rides great, and the brakes feel fine. I haven't pulled a trailer with them yet, but it all seems ok.
Let me know if you have any questions when you put ypours on.
Thanks for all the input people!!

That looks awesome....that'll be my project this fall. But I plan on adding a 4 inch lift!
Are those 22.5's? What brand? Adapters or direct bolt on?

Micker,
after cranking up the torsion bars, make sure you get the truck re-aligned. Raising the torsion bars changes the camber angles.

C.B. depends on the size of the tires..when I had them on my ford , nothing rubbed with 255/70r22.5s, but I had a 2" leveling kit on the front. Your right they do look good, the only thing I wished as far as looks go, was that they had better backspacing so that the outside rear wheels fit closer together so that they didn't stick outside of the rear wheelwell.
