Just a thought, Possible lift.

Okay im not big on the SoCal look but i got myself thinking. This is how my truck looks right now.



Its a 05 2wd with a leveling kit and 32x12's. Here is what my brothers truck looked like last weekend.





Okay, my brothers truck is also a 2wd with a leveling kit, also has a 7" cst lift and 37" tires. Or atleast it had that. Now he is sitting on 2" lowering shackles and 22's with low pros.

So now, i have this lift sitting on a pallet at one of my places of work. I can have the lift for prob 4 or 5 hundred bucks. Problem is i just got my coopers and have no plans on replacing them until they look like drag slicks.

I actually think it would look good with 32" tires, 2" spacers, 7" lift (havent decided if i would want to stack my leveling kit on their too or not), and 20" wheels. photoshopping a picture now.

what do you guys think ?

Buy the lift and install it when you need new tires in a couple of years. What's the rush?

It looks weird with a lift and a street tire. If it was a smaller m/t tire is wouldn't look so bad. Sell ur coopers on Craigslist, should not have too hard I'd a time getting rid of them.

Yea i dont know guys. I guess i was really wanting to see what you would think about it with the tires it has now. I think im gonna let it be. I have a few other small odds and ends i want to take care of. I really want to save money again. I was forced to borrow money to pay for my tranny, its not easy living very tight paycheck to paycheck at 18. I am gonna save up, put a ring around my gf's finger and just drive the hell out of the truck.

Thanks for the opinions everyone!

Just tell her you "promise" and buy the lift.

At 18, you have at least 25 more girls to fall in love with before you're 25 and actually decide to do it lol.
