NO paint issues on this rig Ron! So far we're very pleased! The 9k axles are "new" to me, the up-side is MUCH better braking ability.
Dexter is "working through" a serious issue with the caliper clips on the 9ks. You've been following Porthole's situation I'm sure. According to Randy at Dexter it a pretty wide-spread issue and they're working hard on resolving the it. The "new" clips seem to be the answer but time will tell.
