I think it has bigger tires, leveling kit, maybe rear blocks too and fender flares. Not much else IIRC.

I don't think it had a leveling kit, if it did, they would have all had them @ the factory, Man I love those rims on that truck, not to mention the color. I don't think these are the "TRX" rims though
