Awesome looking truck!
One thought though....totally your choice....have you thought about painting the rear wheel wells black? I did it, and it looks a heck of a lot better and "closes the gap". There doesn't appear to be as much space above the tire. It's all abviously looks, I know the paint doesn't lower the truck. The color seems to jump out and draw your attention to the gap.
Auto Zone (or any store...Wal Mart) sells the rubberized black paint for about $3.00. Totally worth it IMHO.
Again...helluva truck!

That is a great suggestion. I understand how that would tease the eye a little. I was actually already thinking about the rubberized undercoating but now I must put it on the top of the "mod" list. Thanks!

What are the Kleen wheels in your gallery? It looks like brake dust covers.

Kleen Wheels are there to keep the brake dust off the wheels. There are other options to do this like new pads or the daily cleaning. Neither of which I was ready for. When it is time for me to get new pads, I may do that. But for the time being, these work great! This is the third vehicle I have had with them with no issues to date.

www.kleenwheels.com is where I got mine. They cost $70.00 for all four. Most go with just the two front but I opted for all four. This makes tire rotation a little easier plus adds some similarity to all four wheels. The covers are difficult to get out without bending them once they are installed.

I'm not a big fan of all that wheel-well showing- so were it me, I'd slap on some 18 - 22" chromes with some 325/60/18, 325/55/20 or 325/50/22 inch Nitto Terra-Grappler tires, and you'd be off tha hook!
