Thanks, the bed stripe is a custom design that I came up with. Had a friend in the business cut and install it for me. The only lift that I have id a Trailmaster 1.5" leveling kit up front, the rear is stock. It looks jacked up in my sig pic because of being parked on unlevel ground I guess. There is a very slight rake to it, and even looks almost level half of the time.

Hey I am a new member and i have a 2008 Dodge Dakota 4x4 SLT. Im getting it lifted during the holidays and im thinking the 2 inch spacer in front. What tire size with an 18 inch wheel would require only minor trimming? Also what Width wheel would be best
