She's nice and clean man. You've taken good care of that truck for its age. I think its pretty awesome that you want to refinish the wheels. As i've grown older i think there are actually a lot of stock truck wheels that look pretty good and considering they are alloy, they should be relatively light compared to some aftermarkets. For a general use case, you really don't need to change your wheels unless you are REALLY increasing in tire width or need a special use case that requires extreme deflection strength or beadlock capability. Right on man!

Definitely need to get you some jackstands man. I think the reason you had so much issue with the tire still on was that your were using the jack under the axle. If you had put the truck on jackstands on the frame it would let the suspension sag. But removing the wheel seemed to do just as well. ChrisFix has some pretty awesome automotive videos. I have never done rust repair but i felt like his video was a pretty good baseline. One thing to consider is rust underneath your wheel flares. My uncle had a 2001 that rusted in the same rocker panel spot as yours and his truck used to have fender flares. When he took them off, both rear fender lips were rusted several inches up. The truck did come from the beach so thats something to consider too, but it looks to be a common rust spot for this generation.
