Suggestions, Thoughts, and Ideas

So i've been saving up my money for the last few months. I'm planning on waiting untill the end of the summer before I start ordering things. I don't make a lot of money, but I do have a decent amount. I feel as if my pickup is just missing something to get it to just look as good as I think it could. So what would you guys do? BTW the pinstripe is gone, shortened my antenna to 8" and painted it black, and added in- channel vent visors.

Some things I have considered would be:

6" Rough Country Lift
My Bilsteins bumped 1" and 1" lift shackle
35" M/T's on chrome 20's

Another way I have thought is just getting 20's with 33's
or getting 33's or 35's on my stock rims.

If there is anything on my truck that just sticks out like a sore thumb to you feel free to let me know I'm just basically trying to get some ideas in to help me with my near future desicions.






Also if anyone has any ideas of diferent color schemes I could do that would be nice as well. Just trying to get it to look less "stock". Keep in mind that i'm only 16, bought the truck, pay for the insurance, and buy my gas. Thanks, Brent

Get a good set of tires and save your money. That truck will look great at that ride height with 33-35s.

x2, also if you could PTM the front and rear bumpers and get rid of the chrome would help. Other than that, you have sharp looking truck.

Thanks guys. Md- Where did you get your Trails at? I have been really looking at those as well as the Toyo M/t's. Would you think that I could fit the size you have or maybe a size smaller with just the 2" Bilstein front lift? Also what do you guys think would be the best way of getting rid of the chrome.. Just PTM the bumpers with the bottom two- tone and just leaving it at that or Ptm the bumpers and painting grille, headlights, tint tails, PC wheels? I don't really want to black out a two tone truck, but just want some opinions on getting rid of some of the chrome if that makes sense Thanks guys
