Components affixed to the vehicle’s hubs, enabling movement and supporting the vehicle’s weight for a specific model year and make of truck. These parts directly influence tire fitment, load capacity, and overall vehicle aesthetics. A damaged or incorrect component in this system can negatively impact handling, safety, and fuel efficiency.
The correct set is vital for maintaining the truck’s original performance characteristics and safety standards. Selecting alternatives can offer enhanced aesthetics, improved off-road capability, or increased load-bearing capacity. Historically, the design and materials used in these parts have evolved significantly, from basic stamped steel to lighter and stronger aluminum alloys, reflecting advancements in engineering and manufacturing processes.
