I thought about going the 22.5 route but helped a friend change out some things on his back duals and decided to go the 19.5 route instead!
My 19.5 will bust a "nut" if your not used to changing big tires, but to me they are better that 16 inch stuff that is only E rated as I'm running H rated Pilot tires on the front and G traction on the rear.
Less lug nuts and adapters to worry about, but yours look real nice!
Oh, hows the Dodge project coming along?

They definitely are a pain in the *** and only go on with a 1" gun and only come off by loosening the lug nuts and driving the truck around.
The Dodge truggy was scrapped and parted out last year, lost my job beginning of last year and it had to go to pay bills. It's just a toy though, I'll build another one some other time.
The remaining parts to finish the truck have been ordered, things should be happening soon.....

Dodge hydro boost mounted and conversion lines hooked up
Shackle reversal done
Drive shaft shortened and mounted
Extended brake lines are here, need to hook them up and bleed the brakes. Awaiting arrival on the borgenson steering shaft.

Do they make tow mirrors for 92+ trucks? I'm not a Ford guy, I just adapted the 92+ mirrors onto my truck because they look a lot better than the old 87-91 mirrors it had. (truck is a 9 1 with a 92+ front clip)

Fuel tank and batteries mounted
Upper coolant neck, just need to machine the flange tomorrow.
Just need to get the radiator fully plumbed then hook up the slave cylinder and I can test drive it. Then its just odds and ends to get the front clip mounted and get lights working.
