Cool

I would have spent the $$$ on the 5.4L instead.
(for the price of those rims and tires you could have had the 5.4L)
I do this they would look cool if you leveled out the rear or lowered the truck.

Yeah but he wouldn't have the rims 54 and will not get piston slap

Fakefvc, is your truck a short box? Not sure what it would look like on the work truck, but it would make a welcome change I bet. Why post this in the V6 engine forum?

I don't know why I posted it in here, maybe cause of the new forum
Mine is a sport short bed truck. Everything but power windows and locks. Nothing even close to looking like a "work truck".
