Pimp My Ride....please
OK, So here is the deal. I currently have a situation as to what direction to take my truck. I have gone back and forth about a million times, and I just can't make up my mind about what to do.
The Truck:
2008 STX 4x4 Flareside Regular Cab
I currently have a set of the famous 23" Saleen S331 Rims in Chrome.
I have not yet purchased tires or anything else to pursue putting these on, bc I just can't take the leap yet.
The first scenario is that I install the Roush Full 4x4 Suspension Kit (http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=540). Follow it by putting on the 23's (for summer driving, and go back to stock in winter) and call it a day. First question is, will this work?? With the drop from the suspension kit, will it make it too close to tuck the 23's? If possible...anyone that has done this suspension/wheel combo?
The second scenario isn't as clear, but it involves selling the 23's and pursuing a lift and going with the bigger tires and probably some 20's like rockstars or motometals...
I guess my question to everyone is, which one would you do? I am pretty much not dead set on either idea, but I definitely want some input before I pursue either way. I searched and searched, finding a lot of info on individual topics, but I guess the only way to address MY issue is to post it. Thanks in advance!!

that is a choice you have to make.
1. what do you use your truck for?
2. do you like big trucks that stand out? or lowered trucks with big rims?
3. can you afford to pay have a lifted truck? sounds silly, but it all adds up
i like both but having a lowered truck in WI is kinda silly IMO, sure its fun to goes fast and rail corners, but i would rather be up in the air and be set for all the seasons. take a look on cardomain or page thru the gallery and find trucks you like, and find out which ones appeal more to you , big or little.

x2 - I love the look of some lowered trucks, but for us, the practicality of a lift makes the most sense. The only thing that sucks is the lift laws Do whatever you like - take some time to research and look at pics - cardomain is a great site as mentioned. You already have rims but selling them shouldnt be that hard if you go lifted.
