Great build.

The H2 wheels do look good on the 2500 AV. I have the chrome ones off an 06 with spacers and smooth caps.

I like that idea, I was thinking along the same lines   

If you don't like the tread showing lightly spaycan it with flat black rustoleum as needed

That is one of the most useful mods I have seen in a while, if I ever put the running board back on my AV that would be it.
