Default So does this mean my truck is a metrosexual?

Well, to sum it up, the ball and chain is happy, truck is more "baby friendly" and i died a little inside. I guess the one good thing about this is that im gonna make about 500$ on this deal. the new tires are the same size as my mud grapps, just a whole lot uncooler. But i do enjoy the quieter ride and its a bit softer. Now my exhaust is a whole lot noticable which im gonna have to bring out from under the bed to the corners again. The new tires are Hankook Dynapro ATMs, i honestly never heard a review on these but hey they were a gift from my boss. So help cheer me up, give me some ideas to spend the 500$ on my truck. I can feel my man grapes shrinkin everytime i look at my truck.

yep, sidesteps rock especially for lifting kids in and out. Its a big help. how big is your lift? throw some specs in your sig for us to look at

you could get black steps and still have money left over too.

See, for me, it was easier to go buy the wife a new car than to get me to make mine more "baby" friendly. Reg Cab or not she was taling about it being to loud how it would have to change so we could take the kid places in the truck... So we went and got her something new... no complaints about me needing to do or change anything to mine anymore.
