Any one out there change steering wheel's on their AD truck? Thinking of going to a smaller dia, maybe 15" dia,flat dished,I don't think it will effect steering much.My truck steers real easy with everything rebuilt ,I would like a smaller wheel. what type of wheel has anyone used?old navy 51..............

I bought a Grant from Chevy Duty, It's about 15"-15 1/2" wheel..Not flat dished, but not deep either..Went on well, but taking the 54 wheel off wasn't a thrill..Even with a wheel puller, it took a lot of PB Blaster and time to get the wheel off the spline..Best bet is to take your time, spray a little, tighten the puller a little, take a break, and repeat process until it pops loose..My truck actually steers better with the new wheel..I also put on a front sway bar, and new Monroe gas shocks..Steve
