How do you like those tailights? I'm thinking about geting a pair just like that off eBay.

Awsome looking truck!

1st to pics are with torsion bar twist and shackles the third the day I mounted the wheels and tires and its at stock height.

thanks for the compliments the wheels are 15x8. the spoke set up makes them look bigger. its a trick I learned a while back with a wheel that elongates at the spokes or towards the lip it gives alittle bit of an optical illusion.

I like the tail lights ive had them less then a month. find some ambers for the turn signals if you leave white bulbs in there they are brindingly bright and not other driver friendly.
