whats going to look better afterwards? Toolbox Question

After that lift should I stay with the low-pro toolbox or switch to a chest/or smaller box in the rear? What in yalls opinion would look better? The low-pro and some chrome, or the cleans lines w/ the box in the bed. I ask b/c ive been thinkin of switching with all the threads about toolboxes and the places around here have got some good prices goin till christmas. .

Being as it is a SuperCrew, I would go with an over the rail type box, so that you have SOME bed floor space left for longer materials if you need it... Of course if you don't occasionally haul lumber and the like... Go with a chest...

I alos think Im gonna go with the low pro over the rail along with a bullbar. Both will more than likely be in Chrome since I have chrome bumpers. Which is the best and cheapest place to purchase a toolbox?

Go lo over the rail. As dbhost said you will still have full length floor space.

Id try local places first, online would be a last resort since the freight charges would only raise the price..

No way in hell I would ever need that much, I hardly use the room in the one ive got!

Thanks for the replies guys, I guess ill just have to wait and see after the lift if I like it more or not. I might look more into a smaller style chest box (36") or one of those tuffy front bed rail boxes. .

I used to haul the crf250 back there with all my gear till we got a race trailer. The taking in and out really aint all that bad.

What do you guys think about getting the low-profile toolbox line-X xtra'd to match the truck. I recently bought a uws 48" chest box and am really unsure which I like better. . .

Here are some pics of texaspyro's truck that gave me the idea. .

Lo-Pro, over the rail.

I thaught I wanted a chest type until I had the dealer sit one in the bed of my truck. There was a lot of wasted space around the sides and didn't look as good as I expected.

With the deep low-profile box I have penty of room inside the box and have room under it if I need to slide long items underneath it.

There are a few pics im my gallery if you are interested.
