Truck should look sweet with all that, but why don't yo just put the money to doing an actual long travel system if your gonna have that much? On a side note, I have a how to on here for installing the front fiberglass in case you decide to do it yourself.

Yea I'll send you the link later on when I'm not on my phone, if your not installing yourself figure a minimum of 500 or so for labor at least. And you do know the glass won't let you run really any size bigger than what you'll be able to clear with the lift right?

I wouldnt try for anything over a 38 but it really depends on how it actually measures out.

WOW! That is a list. The DC's look sweet, but idk how good they would look on a truck with all that fiberglass. Also keep in mind, with the extended width of the truck from the new fenders you might want to go with a 10 or 12 wide wheel with a low offset to compensate for the loss of tire sticking out.

Yea with the glass shoot for something around no more than 4.25" backspacing and a 10" wheel would be perfect, I have 8" wheels with 4.5" and they tuck in more than I'd like but thankfully the spindles helped bump the front out some. As for wheels I don't think the dc's would look good if you want the prerunner look. I'd go with something that resembles more of a beadlock style wheel.

Here's a link to the front glass install I did. I have some other links saved in my bookmarks for rear glass if you want me to send you those too.
