Ideas For My Truck

I am basically looking for some people to tell me what they would do with my truck (photoshop if able please). I am going for the off-road look, leveling kit will be going on soon, tool box on the way, tires will come late this summer. Nobody else I know of on this forum has my paint combination, so I am kind of lost in between ideas.

well you could go either way. black tool box, black wheels, lose the handles, etc. or, the opposite.

dont x line any of the body, in my opinion it looks cheap and ugly, dont paint it unless you spend some money and get it done right. if red and silver are what you have to work with than deal with those colors.

Red and silver is different therefore unique for our trucks. Keep your colors and go with chrome wheels to compliment your bumpers, door handles, new toolbox and stuff. Unless you have a ton of money to change out parts for the blackout look and time and paint for other stuff IMHO I wouldn't go there. Keep your colors, accent with chrome and/or some billet pieces and enjoy your unique truck!

Thanks for the help guys.

For now I think I am going with mostly chrome.

I've decided I'm going to order the Auto spring leveling kit for my truck, would you guys recomend the 2" or 2.5" kit?

2.5" kit if you like a little bit of a bulldogged look, 2" if you dont.
