A lift might help if you had bigger tires.. but those look like street wheels, maybe you should just lower it instead?

Here.. I'll use my awesome Microsoft paint skills to illustrate?

Yeah, I think I would drop it like Pat said. Those look more like street wheels to me.

Drop it, and possibly Tint the headlights and tail lights, paint the emblems black, and tint the windows

the emblem and the tint is good that would help. droping it is horrible idea. not to mention ruin the ride and the purpose of having a full size truck. probably going to be taking the lips to be painted black.

A lift with those size tires would look kind of goofy. You should take those tires off and try to sell/trade them in on some bigger meat like a 35" tire if you want to lift it. That is just my opinion though.

lol.. well dropping it was pretty easy with paint.. lifting it up was a little harder, but still possible.. I think it actually looks pretty decent lifted up! mind you, I beefed up your tires a little bit.. If you had some 35" tires it would look nice, street wheels or not..

The headlights look fine, just tint the tails and front windows and your truck would look great. You just need to add a little more black to pull of the wheels, and you'll be set. Don't get rid of the silver lip.. I think it actually accents the chrome on your truck pretty well.

microsoft paint - about a 6" lift.. with 35" tires..? hopes this helps

I think it would look good lifted with 35's and the driver/passenger windows tinted. Maybe a little night shades on the tails.
BTW, nice paint work Zeruin. Lol.

i guess i'm just dissapointed cause i expected more then i got out of them. i was excpecting it to be one step closer to looking like zeruins truck and it really didn't in the least. i'll figure it out but i wouldnt ever consider lowering it.

looks better than it did...
before

after

werner, your wheels really dont look bad, you just need to proportion them with some more rubber eventually, and they do look better than before as is.

You could easily make your truck look like the lifted pic, and I think it would look pretty sweet. You just need a few more things...

6" lift
35" tires
window tint
tinted tail lights

Do those things, and you'll be good to go!
