So, looks like these include the tension band? Anybody have photos of these installed. Since I have aluminum wheels that have been freshly powder coated, I’d like not to destroy the powder coating. Due to the thickness of the aluminum, there is basically no dish in the wheel, so the outside face...
Well, I just hope I can find some of these nuts in the next couple of weeks or this new wheel and tire combo are going to be very expensive paper weights.
I have a feeling, the CTI lug nuts are going to be difficult to get a hold of. Does anyone know where these may be had other than straight from Hutchinson? If they end up being out of stock, I need a backup plan for the trip home with the truck.

For you folks who know these trucks inside out, how does the gearing after the Eco Hub install compare to installing 3.07 gears? If memory serves me right, I think I’ve heard two different stock ratios, one in the high 6’s and one in the low 7’s. So, in either case, the gearing after the Eco Hub...
Yes, I plan on having it rebuilt/balanced, and will have the front balanced as well. Already planning to start a new thread for the truck build to avoid further posts here.
