    Hated that yellow bulb with the LED Strip on the headlights so got some LED headlights and fogs for the truck also changed the puddle lights on the side views to match.

    Changed the truck up a little bit. Always been a OEM while still unique kind of guy and this truck nailed that look. Also switched out the spindles for a 3” lift in the front. Sits level now and drives just how I wanted it too.

    So Ive always enjoyed 18"s over 20's and my wife made the suggestion back when I first bought the truck to sell everything and drop down to a 18 and I didnt listen. Well I did it and I am beyond stoked with how it turned out but now I need someone to buy my 20s with 35s before my wife kills me haha :eek:

    I WILL SHIP THEM TO ANY STATE FOR $2,400OBO

    Also for tire hunters out there I have now ran Toyo AT2's, BFG KO2, Cooper AT3 XLT and Toyo AT3 on this truck. I will say the best tires are a tie between the Coopers and the Toyo AT3. Coopers win by a hair cause they were dead silent at all speeds. The AT3 are smoother but thats cause I dropped to a Load Range D. If my tire shop could've gotten me Coopers in a load range D I would say that those would be the PERFECT tire for this truck in a 35" tire. Funny enough the KO2 were the worse and made my truck shake like a sinner in church!
