Grill guards just don't look right on stock trucks (imo)
I'd definetely say wheels.

Also, since you have a body lift you are gonna have to fabricate some brackets to mount a grill guard. We aren't saying a grill guard will look bad, we are just saying wheels will make your truck look better than a grill guard will.

yea man i knew they were gonna have to do that and they were gonna have to hack into the front plastic so the grill would fit. that wouldnt look good. i havent been able to make my mind up whether the grill or wheels would look the best. what size leveling kit would be best??? daystar only makes a 1.5 inch levelin kit for my truck. ive heard that it mite raise it up to 2 inches in the front....... hope so

I got my bull bar befor I got the new tires. It did look kinda funny with stock 235/70/16 tires but that bull bar with my 285/75/16 terra graps it looks sweet as hell! Still I think some rims would be best.
