Post a pic of your truck.
What looks good on RC, 2WD may not look so hot on a QC, 4WD.

Whatever you get, the only thing you really need to know if you have a 1500 pickup is that the wheels need to be at least 17" and the bolt pattern is 5x5.5

chrome looks good with silver, i'd start looking there personally. Also what kind of tires are you going to put on them? AT? MT? If you do the leveling kit you can get tires that are a couple inches bigger.

Put some air bags on the back between the axle and the frame. This will eliminate any "sag" when the truck is loaded and will release the pressure when empty. That way the ride height remains the same.

You caninstall a small compressorright in the bed of your truck. You install a load sensing valve that adds air to your bags as the truck starts to sag, and releases air as the weight is removed. It constantly adjusts itself so you really don't have to do anything.
