    Will CTIS Protectors mount to a Hutchinson aluminum wheel?

    I’ve not gotten ahold of aluminum wheels yet. As it stands I don’t think it would work without modification of the attachment bolts. They are long and bottom out in the lug on my steel rims just as the protectors make contact.

    Originally I had planned to do this myself, but looking at the work decided to have Bryce W do the gears on my truck. It is by far the best upgrade. I noticed that it is quieter, rpms come down to a reasonable range at 55-60 mph (where I cruise) and temperatures are lower. Perhaps the 3116 (A0)...

    @Floridianson is correct. I just got drivelines back from complete ($2077.) rebuild, new splines, new u joints, balanced, everything. Vibration persists though it did help.
