Go with the 3" lift with black rims and black box...only if you plan on changing the color of grill and bumper. If you are for sure going with different rims maybe have your stock ones painted black, unless you are going to sell them. But at least that way you'd have an idea.

^^^^^I agree. Don't believe I have seen that many, if any guys on here w/ ure color truck and black rims and accents. I say go w/ it. Lift or level depends on the look ure going for..? Either way you go it'll look good!

You ain't been around here very long, have you? LMAO...


Seriously though, dark blue is one of the colors that looks good either way. But IMO you need to do one or the other. If you are gonna keep the chrome wheels, then it's chrome/stainless/diamond plate.

If you are gonna go black, then do the wheels too...

There arent many trucks that black wheels don't look good on IMO. It just depends if you wanna go for more of an off road "tough" truck or more of a street truck look. If you want the off road look with the lift etc black IMO would look best. Look at some moto metal 957 and 951, the XD series (xd 707)

You know a lot of people say that jake, but in my neck of the woods it's the opposite. It's all the lowered guys who black their trucks out and the off-road, hog huntin' rednecks go for the stainless and diamond plate... LOL
