Purdy, ain't she?

Well, here's the almost finished product of four years of research from this invaluable forum. Just put on the 37's. They just barely cleared with the 2" coils. Thanks y'all for the education!!

Ya know, I didn't pay attention to 65 but where I was 70 at 2000 with 35's, I am now at 75 with the 37's at 2000. Speed limit is 70 here in WV so 75 at 2000 is now my swet spot!

Looks sweet! Personally, I'd paint the flares body color. The black makes the front fender look kinda like a chevy. JMO. I just wish I had fenders with no holes, lol!

Nice looking truck. I assume there's a story with the tailgate? Some one borrow your white one? I like that one!!!! Where'd you get it?

Also, how are your front lights mounted?

Looks great!

Hey thanks man, factory tailgate was getting pretty beat up & rusted out so I went with that one, pretty cheap actually. Under $300 from AutoAnything if I recall. Lights are mounted directly to the front bumper, just drilled two holes to fit the light stems and bolted right in, real sturdy!

Hey man that is a real good looking truck. It gives me hope and inspiration for my 2000 sport thats white. I can't ever decide what to do with it or to it. Looks good though! I like that you stayed with the stock wheels with a large tire like that.

looks sweet! 37s on our trucks looks just right to me. Stock works great, but the tiny donuts look horrible on our LARGE trucks... JMHO

I hear ya, the 35's I had on sure didn't look like 35's. To me, the 37's look more like 35's, they should be the factory size in my opinion!
