5 lug

[Sharpe]

Assuming yall will be running similar sized tires, six lug. It only makes sense.

[stx4wheeler]

8 lug just looks cool in my book, 5 will make changing tires easier, and 6 to match yours which would be easy as well, i would say 6.

[uglyota]

I would base it on what wheels/tires you end up with. It seems you could save nearly $1k by being able to pick the best deal on used tire/wheel combos. Especially since everybody thinks they need 20s these days

[Shaggy]

well if you like the h2 wheels a lot then 8 lug... i believe the h3 wheels are 6 lug but dont know for sure if it is exactly the same bolt pattern... i think 8 lug is the best way to go though

[BMFScout]

evidently he doesn't since he just sold his H2 wheels

h3 wheels are 6 lug, and I'm almost sure the pattern in the same as toys and chevy's but they're only 16s

I have another set of 5 here...

[redcagepatrol]

I just ordered:
-front 4340 shafts (Yukon from 4wdFactory)
-Bobby Long D60 U-joints
-Dedenbear Knuckles
-2 Chevy Spindles
-kingpin rebuild kit
-Warn locking hubs
I still need the bearing hubs (I found some at a junkyard down here for $60 ea) - but I am waiting on determing my lug pattern

I am not sure about getting that True Hi9 yet - although it sure would be nice for the clearence and driveline angle!

Scott...

Thats a chevy 60? I'm assuming it didn't come with the knuckles out?

it's a complete Dodge - I am getting some Chevy hubs to convert to internal locking hubs

[Doug Krebs]

ahh thats why you were wondering about my dodge hubs on the blazer...

Are the knuckles different too? Or are you paranoid you are going to break the stock ones?

just paranoid of breaking the 37 year old stock ones from the northeast...

[Sharpe]

The wheels on later 05ish tahoes are prety pimpin and are 6 lug. They might be 17" too, but I dont remember.
