New Pics - My 2008 XLT SuperCrew

Here are some shots I took today...

It's still a work in progress...but I would love some feedback and thoughts on what my next mods should be.

Yep, they are the factory chrome 18s. I sanded and scuffed them up good. Used a primer with adhesion promoter. Used a black spray paint, not sure which. Top it with a spray clear.

Make sure you post pics when you get that Saleen grille on yours.

nice truck that last pick had me thinking about your next mod though.

2.5 inch leveling kit for sure.

ive never been a fan of the rake look. IMHO, the only thing worse than a rake on a truck, is a rake on one with step bars.

so i vote leveling kit. it is an easy mod, dirt cheap, and will totally change how your truck looks.

Looks good. The only thing I'd recommend short of leveling/lift is to paint the rear bumper. Other than that, it looks like you have a lot of work into her so congrats on a good looking truck!

It has a 2" AS spacer on it. I had the step bars removed for a short time before I decided to paint them with the truck bed coating. Both locations where the photos were taken were on an incline, so Im guessing that is why you guys are seeing the rake. Its really not drastic at all when looking at it.
