Looks like you could use some adjustable control arms. The front wheels look pulled toward the back of the wheel well.

I think they look too small. Too much wheel well showing. But, nice looking rims and tires.

With using adjustable controll arms, wouldn't that mess up all the other adjustments?? Who makes them??

Your truck looks great, get bigger tires when you need them.

Off the top of my head Pure Performance http://www.pure-performance.biz and Rough Country suspension makes some.

Top Gun Customz carries some. http://www.topguncustomz.com
Adjustable arms will let you center the front axle in the wheel wells. You would probably have to adjust your drag link depending on how much you move the axle. I assuming you have the standard BDS 6" lift kit. BDS makes a nice product, but when you get over 5 inch lift with the control arms in the stock position the axle tends to get pulled back in the fender well. That's why you see 6 inch and above lifts with long arm options. Call BDS and see if you can purchase their lower long arm kit. It changes the lower control arm mounting points and you can accomplish the same thing. There is nothing wrong with your truck, I just think the axle looks better centered in the wheel wells. I have a Skyjacker 4.5" Double-Flex kit on my '98 12 valve and am upgrading to their 7 inch Long Arm kit in the spring. Nice truck and your tires do look a little small. Regards, Glen
