That looks good.  I bet if you lowered it some, it would look even better.

Thanks for the commens. as for Drivetrain, no too sure, it has a 305 but haven't paid attention to much else yet.

Lowered 2" in the back since the pics to try & level it out, may go lower but have other things on the list first. Once i get a new camera or atleast my existing camera working I'll update the pics.

22" eagle alloys. I believe 265/35/22 tires.

nice truck but.......wow your wheels look way to small for being 22".

i have 285-35-22 in they look way bigger diameter.
THE LOWER I GO,..... THE MORE SHE LIKES IT!

Thanks, I wouldn't have expected 265 & 285 to be that much difference but your avitar definately looks like there is more meat on your tires. I believe these are 22x8.0 or 22x8.5. Do you know the width on yours? any more pics of yours?

Okuma, I think it's an optical illusion. It looks like your truck sits alot lower closing the wheel to fender gap. I'd also like to see your picks.
