Default New rims and tires

They're a bit played out on the internet but I live in a small town so no one around here has them lol They're 20x10s with 35x13.5-20 ProComp X-Terrains. I think it's a big improvement over my 18s rck:

Looks good! If you can take out the spacers, looks like you have a bit to much lift. Might just be me. I really like the black though!!

Plastic center caps/simulated chrome fasteners & mudflaps over flares are tacky!

Wheels/bars don't work on a chromed out/two tone Laramie.

37's suit that lift.

Instead of saying "you should do this" or "looks tacky" how bout you give the man a compliment on making his truck a one-off to set himself apart from others. Im pretty sure he doesnt care if you dont like the fender flares or if you think he should remove the spacers. As long as he likes the way he builds his truck, be happy for him.

Truck looks great man!

I'd rather not have the spacers but I think it looks like **** not being level which seems to be pretty common with these trucks no matter the manufacturer of lift. I also hate the stuffed fender look but it's all personnal preference. I'm having the truck monotoned so that's a moot point and the flares and mud flaps are purely to satisfy the cops. I paid $0.00 for the steps and when compared to the Mopar chrome ones the chrome looks like cheap plastic and have horrible pitting problems which is the same reason I don't run chrome wheels, the winters here would destroy them.

I love the look of the tires. I've never been a fan of black wheels, but that's the only reason I'm not into the rims. The design is nice, I'd just like them in chrome.

As for the lift, I think it's the first picture that's throwing everyone off. In the first pic it looks too high in the front, but in the 3rd picture it looks completely level.

In the first pic it's actually lifted up by the jacking beam of the hoist even tho the hoist is lowered. It gave it the perspective of being 3-4" higher PreRunner still in the front. Also after lifting a vehicle and letting the suspension droop, it will appear higher until it's been driven around a bit which allows the suspension to settle. It is 1/4" higher in the back when it's parked on a nice level surface. Thanks for the compliments and even the criticizim. Life would be boring if we all drove/had the same taste in asthetics
