moconst,
Truck looks good...Have you checked for clearence on your control arms? not that big of a deal, another friend of mine went 6" and 37"'s with stock rims and he rubbed his control arms but didn't hurt anything.

Is your truck a manual?

Clearance is excellent except for the front plastic air dam(which I will grind down)

My truck is an auto.

I did notice a little power loss, but she still scoots pretty good.

My truck is an auto as well, I ran with stock gearing for a short time until i decided to break the bank and have my gearing done, it made a big difference in power and gas mileage......I wish I would have purchased a manual, they don't seem to need the gearing change with larger tires.

Your rim offset looks better than mine, good decision on the rims! Is your 6" lift an axle forward lift?

looks good. what offset do you have on the wheels? I was looking into getting a set of polished ones like that but want the wheel tucked in closer to the center of the truck... thinking of pulling the flares off.
