New look w/PICS

Well with rising gas prices and my truck being a 2 wheel drive, I finally came to the realization I was never going to spend $2000+ to lift it.....so I sold my spacers and wheel/tire set up & went a different route.
I know I'm probably gonna get burned by a lot of people but I like the way it looks now and for as much as I go off-road, I think this is more practical. Let me know what you think....I know the rear needs to be lowered cause it sticks up a good 2" more than the front. Also, if anyone would like to make me a new sig I'd appreciate it very much
Before:

New look:

I like the old and new, but the 24" rims are a little much for me. If its lowered i like it to sit lower, but the bigger tires/rims dont allow for it. Its a great look though with the all black and chrome rims.

yep your getting burned by me

I always thought you had one of the better looking leveled trucks around, and I can't see the gas mileage paying off by lowering it, but really that just boils down to my personal taste in style leaning towards lifted.

Anyways it looks good, not my cup of tea, but if you like it, then good job!

not bad, definately needs to be lowered in the rear. i hope you broke even after selling your old wheels and tires. if not, it's going to take awhile to recoup what you spent on your new setup to save a little gas.

Awesome looking!

I'd lower it and put the nail in the coffin.

Although I don't hate the new look, I prefer the old look much more. However, I completely concur with the cost of lifting one.
