Default Anyone got pictures of a 3" lift and stock wheels?

Anyone got a picture of a truck with a 3" lift and stock wheels and maybe sotck tires? I'd like to see it with stock tires then again with 285 that are just a normal tread. I have stuck in my head that if I'm going to keep my truck I want to put it back to stock or close to it where it doesn't draw so much attention. I'm thinking if I didn't have tires that stuck way out of the side that would be the biggest thing. I'm not really wanting to removve the lift though just due to a fact that it would be a pain to find stock parts to use. Since it's not that high I was thinking of keeping that and just putting normal tires and wheels back on it. I'm just afraid it will look stupid though.

you could just do 33s or a little smaller and go with a stock rim thats not so wide. all my pictures on my profile are of my ram with the three inch lift before I put the 35s on it and my wheels are a little narrower so the tires dont stick out as much as yours. you can do stock wheels but i wouldnt do the stock tires cause in my opinion the look to small on the stock truck or at least mine did.

The reason is mostly just that the truck gets unwanted attention. Not so much in the way of tickets just attention that's unwanted from thieves and others too. I like that look with 3" lift and 285"s. I'm thinking if my truck just looked stock it wouldn't have anyone even look twice at it.

Thieves are going to be thieves whether your truck looks like a show truck or a complete p.o.s. If they want to break in, their going to do it.

If you are living in that much fear that your willing to modifiy your truck from the way you like it to something less, then they've won, and you'll never be happy with your ride again. My advice is to get some good insurance coverage, and leave the truck the way you like it. Parts and trucks are replacable. Living in fear of others and making sacrifices because of them just makes your life less enjoyable. Screw that.
Don't let the fear of what might happen ruin your truck and all the work you've done to make it the way you like it so far. Just my 2 cents.
