Flareside Screw?

Sorry if this is a repost, but have y'all seen the new Screw Flaresides? CHeck it out:



I don't know what to think, but it's in desperate need of a leveling/lift kit and some bigger tires ASAP!

For some reason I have never been too attracted to flareside type trucks. I feel like i'm getting "shorthanded" in the bed space and they can sometimes cost more. I think for those who don't really use their bed THAT much it is o.k. and it looks like it definitely needs a leveling kit or a lift.

Sure does look longer, definitely needs a level/ lift kit. I don't really like it, but do you have any idea on the price?

I'm not a real big fan of flareside pickups either.

I don't care for flareside trucks -- and I like them even less in a crew cab configuration!

I don't know about the flareside on a Screw, but I want those wheels.

Crew cab flareside?

Doesn't look properly proportioned on such a long truck.

I liked the old body style flareside trucks a lot. I used to own one. They just had nicer lines and they flowed better.
I think the new body style flaresides are butt ugly in my opinion. Especially that supercrew.
Looks like someone removed the front shocks.

all of you who are arguing too long- do you say that because you dont think it flows (i dont like it), or do you actually dislike the length- that would be a new feature this year correct- the 6.5footer on a crew? so would those inturn be too long as well?
sorry- just curious
