I took the stock lugs and roughed them up a little & shot them with flat black and satin clear.

Nice truck, it definitely looks much better with the drop, and the rims/tires.

Looks good,
Are you happy with how the drop worked out? I want to drop my 03 front 2" and am thinking "drop spindles". My truck sets a little low already from the factory and I only have 1" of travel before hitting the lower "A" frame rubber bump stops. I bought this truck new and no suspension mods have every been done except for 2" short shackles installed in the rear. Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks,
I used the McGaughy's coil and flip kit.I've got about 200mi on it without any issues,and the ride is much better than stock.The tech that did the alignment said he had to take the truck out to the limit of its adjustment to get it in spec. So if you don't mind the soft stock coils,lowering spindles might be a better way to go mechanically.

Where did you get those rims from and how much? They are 20's correct, not 22's?

The wheels are 20's and came from Factory Reproductions,they don't show them in black on their site,but they have them. They were a good deal,but I buy alot from them & I think he gave me a discount.
