Okay, update time.
Wheels went on, look great, spacers looked amazing too.
Tire shop ****** up two of my tires by somehow gashing the sidewalls, they're okay it just looks terrible.
I was pretty pissed about that but they just said "Oh well they came in like that" (I told them I knew the tires weren't like that, but they still wanted to argue) and "I dunno what you want us to do" so I realized it wasn't gonna do any good to try and dispute it any more.
Glamour shot while camping, this is when I found the gouges.

And then a couple days later, as I was checking the torque on the wheel spacers, I find that two of the studs on the passenger side were cross-threaded. So now I'm waiting to find the patience to pound two new studs in and get them back on the truck.

And the latest and greatest, water pump **** the bed on me and the interior has a leak around the windshield; found the leak in one of the 3 days straight where it just poured down rain for like 2 hours each day, I siliconed up the windshield seam as a temporary fix and it seems to work but I know I'll need to get it properly fixed, I think a new headliner is going to need to go in due to water damage on the original.
Water pump was a pain in the ass like I expected; but it's done along with a new lower rad hose, new fan clutch, and a new belt. With the new severe service clutch and the S10 fan the truck runs at like 191 cruising and gets to like 186 with the fan spinning full force.

Recharging the AC, new carpet/headliner along with sound deadner, new door pins and bushings, new steering wheel and new turn signal stalk are probably on the list next. We'll have to see what is in store after I get back from vacation.
