4. 20" or 22" smoothies - best brand, price?
5. Static or bagged lowering without affecting towing capacity?
6. Rust protection without coating the underside with gunk.

Thanks!
Man that's a great looking truck! I thought R2500 had to be a typo, especially for a Forestry rig, I didn't know they used 2wd.

1. USA-1
2. New. The reproductions look great, like OEM.
3. I'm not a fan of rear disc conversions, only because I personally like the factory brakes. When I think of installing an adjustable proportioning valve, and all the panic stops needed to try to hopefully get it right for all situations, my head spins. That might not bother you, but personally I'd upgrade the front brakes before the rear, if you think it needs more.
4 and 5 aren't really my wheelhouse
6. I like to degrease and pressure wash everything underneath and give it all a fresh coat of rattle-can satin black. It's no fun cleaning but the results look great and it works.
