lifts gonna run about 4K proably. Just put some black 24's on it and call it good, sweet looking truck. That white really pops in the that picture.

Wrong!

Black 24 on a 4x4 is dumb

Rancho lift will run you about 2000-2500 installed. I have this lift and really like it so far.

Tires will probably run you 1500-2000 depending on where you go

I agree with everything Mr.FX4 said. Except for the fact that 24's on a 4x4 are dumb. It's personally not my style, but not everybody takes their 4x4 off road. Having 24's and 4x4 can still be useful in minor situations.

Alot of people that buy used trucks have to get 4x4 cause its already on the truck they want. Personally, go with some street look 24" rims and don't give two ****s about the haters.

Having 24's on a 4x4 is fine for a summer setup...who says you have to go offroad if you have a 4x4 in the summer? Haters gonna hate!!

Level it throw some 35's on the stock wheels and PTM your mirror caps and call it a day.


IMO the only way a 24" rim is okay on a 4x4 is if there on 40'' mudders.
