Default what do you guys think?

33 inch nitto mud grapplers on black procomp 17"s?, i am just wondering because over this summer i will be adding alot of things to my truck, like 3 inch body lift, leveling kit, tires and rims, and i wanted to do it all at once, because i see trucks with body lifts and stock tires and rims, it dont look bad, but it also dont look good, just looking for some opinions.......thank yall ...............Swampy

no not 4x4 , but speed doesnt concern me too much,i know with the mods i will most likely loose power, but what would be good performance upgrades to gain back some of the spped and power i will lose?, i mainly want the offroad look because everyone else around where i live is shooting for that look, and being as i have the smallest truck out of all my buddies, i want to have the baddest looking one...............................Swampy

Well kiss your power steering pump goodbye. Rolling resistance isnt the only thing thats affected by putting oversized tires on. More than likely the tranny in the truck isnt gonna like it either. Brakes will wear faster. $x4's usually are built with a bit beefier parts than their 2wd counterparts.
