I'm not going to say who I bought the kit from because that's just going to open the flood gates of comments about that vendor.

I will tell you that I priced the parts out from 4 different vendors. I thought it was 5 but it was only 4. They are:

LMC: "15-inch or larger wheels must be used". So, I figured that my 15-inch wheels qualified. I was either wrong or misled, you decide.

Filling Station: No mention of wheels

Classic Truck Parts: "MAY NOT" work with stock wheels." LMC, says 15-inch wheels are okay... so I assumed my wheels would work.

Brothers: No mention of wheels.

In my case, this isn't anything catastrophic. I needed new wheels anyway because the ones on my truck don't have the clips for the hubcaps so the $54 per wheel I'm paying from Wheelsmith isn't a big deal.

In fact if there's a bright spot in this whole mess, it was dealing with them. Bob was extremely helpful and would not write up the sale until he knew that he was selling me something that would work. Of course, I don't have the wheels on my truck yet so all of this is subject to them actually working.

I'm a big boy and didn't get to where I am by being stupid. I'll have my disk brakes and I'll have new wheels and all of this will just make a fun "war story" some day. Right now, I'm just not very happy and feel I have a valid point. If you're going to sell something, be upfront about it.

Peace, out. wave
