Personally if it was lifted with bigger tires on it then it wouldnt look too bad but they look kinda crappy all stock. Saw a few single cabs and ext cabs but no quad cabs

and the way the bed rolls around the quad cab doesn't help.

I had the same issue but you can buy panels and replace them, thats what I did. It was my first attempt at body work.
