Gorgeous.
I spent most of my money on Jack Daniel's, Copenhagen, pocket knives, and 4X4 trucks.  The rest I just wasted.

Thanks all, now I'm contemplating an ORD 2" lift (I just put Bilsteins on, and don't want to go higher and need longer shocks), but I do want their springs and rear spring shackle set-up.

I would have added a leaf or lifted it before cutting anything. It would look great with a little more clearance in there. Good choice on the wheels.

Hello, where do you find those 16 inch deep dish wheels, I still have the 16.5 wheels and can no longer find tires to fit.

I got them from Jeg's Performance, then had them powder-coated by a local 'coater.

They look really sharp.  I'm debating going back to the white wheels with stock caps next time I get tires.

The only aftermarket alternative that appealed to me would have been the old-school 5-slot mags, but finding them in good enough condition, 8-lug, and 16" was tough.

Is your truck stock height or did you lift it to fit that size of tires?
