looks pretty good
 












yeah i am very happy with how they turned out. between the 16" rims and the larger tires i know i got some lift out of the deal too. the truck definatley sits higher and rides different. I can't say this was a cost effective way to lift it though. the rims cost me 400$ and the tires were about 600$ and those stupid lug nuts were 40$ (had to get them from dealer). i'd say at most i got 2" or so of lift. but those tires took me through some serious mud tonight. I did not even need 4x4 i just stepped on the gas and they bit right down and pulled me through. now i just need to wash the truck.....LOL
 






Looks good :thumbsup:
 






stands out . what did you paint the diffy and bumper with ?
 






They look pretty good
 






I used 500 degree engine enamel from autozone. the covered it with the same type of clear. the diff needs repainted though, salt in the winter has taken its toll.
