when you go through those tires upgrade to the 285 or 295s... anything larger might rub and will wear your front end out and kill your mpgs...

don't waste your money on lifts unless you are building a show truck...

looks like a fine machine...

you bought the right truck, no need to do much... not like you have an F150 or Chevy gasser and realize you didnt' buy the right truck...

I'd put in a leveling kit (new coils, not spacers) and then call it a day. But thats just me.

Congrats on the new rig by the way.

if he stays below 315, the leveling kit would be a tremendous waste of time and money... its almost level from the factory... and if added that and loaded up, he'd have a reverse squat which looks terrible...

I think I need to start an anti-leveling kit group...

Here is a picture of my truck with a leveling kit. take a look at the crease that runs the whole length of the truck, now compare that to the tops of the tires. Still leaves a little for the truck to settle with a load. My truck sits exactly level with my boat hooked to it. Don't know about the spacer, but the kit from Lorenz helps with how the truck handles also, took much of the washy feeling out of the front end and it feels more nimble in turns, loaded and unloaded, that alone was worth the money. I understand why they design them like this but I also think it's a bit overdone. Trucks shouldn't look like dogs sniffing around in the weeds with their tails in the air.

Like I said before, thats just me....

One other thing it needs.... to be driven, enjoy...

Mess with geometry? 6" lift, ok big geometry change. 2" leveling kit gives the same stance as a truck with the Power Wagon package.

Too each his own I guess, your truck looks awesome, enjoy it.

Have you ever tried snowboarding? Where was that pic taken?


Sorry slowlt1 didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Front windows tinted, leveling kit, de-badge the driver/passenger front doors, remove the lower black door moldings, some bigger tires and maybe some nerf bars???

It would look close to mine, minus the larger tires and color.

They're all nice trucks! Makes me wish I had left the chrome off mine. I'm about sick of the door handle covers. grille inserts etc but everyone at home tells me it looks good don't take it off. Anyways I like the how those 285/75/17's fill the wheel wells. Are they e rated?

I want cab lights and some bigger meater tires. ive already got this thing stuck i was ****** my buddy with his v10 had to pull me out. i want to leave it semi stock cause i plan on keeping it for a long time. im only 18 so i need to think of how ill like the mods i do in the future. thanks for the complements. also will the older style tail lights fit in my truck i dont like my space age ones.
