If you like it shiny and have the patience, then I think it would look pretty sweet.

Or you could just be cheap and lazy, and use something flat like me.:o

yea i like that one alot! its super clean, and Love the tires!
 






That picture was the only time i've ever waxed it. It was just rolled out of the garage from putting the lift stuff on, washed, and driven onto that rock. and a week ago i hit a tree, scraped down the whole passenger side. Got a lot of buffing and waxing to do but it'll look nice once again.

i really like ur front bumper, its super smooth, i wish mine was like that, it would be alot easier to paint
 






What backspacing are those rims?

Would you think if you had 31x10.5 tires there wouldn't be a rubbing issue with 15x8 rims from what you've seen with yours?

i had a little rub with 32x 11.50 with 15x8" rims

you should have no rub at all with 31's
 






Not sure who that question was directed to, but i had rubbing with 31s on stock 16" rims with the truck at stock height. not much but definitely there.
 






lol me neither
 






I've got no rubbing issues with my 31's, I'm just curious about going to 15x8 rims..

if you do get some rubbing, you can always trim! i trimmed alot and you cant even tell

I used the Krylon Fusion on the grill insert. This is probably the best paint I have ever used!! ( I'm not saying im a pro painter) it drys in about 1 minute. I put 4 coats on and it looks awesome! I'll throw some pics up soon.

Your ex looks awesome btw!!:salute:
 






Hey mltsaccord
Was the rubbing before you trimed from the tire being 11.5 wide or was it the height of the tire?
Sorry strange question but i am trying to figure if i should go to 32 11.5 or possibly 33 10.5 i know there will be triming involved for both but do you think a 33 10.5 would fit under?
