Unfortunatly if it looks like that, it will sit 3-4 inches higher, have 16" alloys or steelies with a small tire. The wheel set up and vehical height never looks bad on a concept; it is always different when they put it in to production though and want to cut costs. I would never lift a unibody though.

most deff badass looking. but i agree that should be lifted much... even tho to me its like dodge is trying to take on the el camino look. i would say stay with more of a truck. why theres a reason its a truck, it works hard and gets u where u need to go.. if that includes snow banks and mudd :P and speed!

Sell it with more of a truck design, keep the front end, toss a 6.1 hemi in there. PUT A 6 SPEED MANUAL in it, lift it about 4 inches and I would be all over it.

That front end looks good tho, mean looking lol
