When I see this truck, Makes me think to myself "Go buy solid black Rims already, Moron" Then Id just have to paint my Aluminum Rack, and its all blacked out.
lol i know what you mean. mine is white but soon to be " stormtrooped " . i just ordered black 17s for mine with 255 75 17 mt's. and thanks for the answer. makes me glad i ordered the 2 inch leveling kit and not the 2.5...searched these forums for a long time to make that decision lol

Yeah, he has 2" leveling kit, 2" blocks in the back, 4wd and V8.

A 255/75/17 is a 32" tire, you'll be cutting a little. And Welcome aboard aragon.
