Truck Update Pics...

I have installed a 2.5" leveling kit and rancho shocks all around. Also I took the steps off. Not sure if they should go back on. Need new tires, and Im good to go.

Here are some pictures, tell me what you think. BTW, sorry if they look crappy, I took them with my phone cause its the only camera that I have.

Just some stock-sized tires for now. Probably something a tiny bit more aggressive or stock tires if I can get them for cheap.

My problem is that I have 18" wheels. They dont make anything really decent for 18" wheels.

Either a Saleen or a blacked out Roush grille would look really good on your setup man.

I think the wheels you have now would look good powder coated black then get a tire thats about an inch taller and wider. Lift looks good on it though.

No thanks on the tires.


I could get the wheels powdercoated, but I would rather just save some dough and get a tire, wheel, and balance package from desertrat.com.


Planned on maybe lifting it to 4" later, but I think I like it the way it is now. It definately needs more aggressive tires though.

I like the Rancho shocks, I got RS5000's. They are so much stiffer though. I mean, for example, apparently on my way to work there are a bunch of bumps in the road (much like whoops, but I cant see them). The road looks totally flat and I didnt know there was anything there until yesterday on my way to work.

PTM your grille. That would look clean.
First off, what is PTM'ing my grille? Never heard that before.

I was actually thinking that a Harley Davidson or Limited grille would look good on there.

BTW, just in case nobody could tell in the picture, my truck is dark blue, not black. There is sort of a reference Sport Track in the background of one of the pictures, but it may not be clear.
