Added 2.5" level to the front and replaced rear block with 3". 275/60/20 Dyna pros added yesterday. Next I am looking at removing bottom chrome trim or tinting it.

Your welcome, These wheels are very expensive and hard to find. I'm hoping with time and as people start replacing their wheels that these will start to pop up more and making the price more affordable.

The trim on the lower half of your truck is obviously aftermarket and held on by double sided adhesive tape. I suggest heating it up and slowing peeling it off. I have heard of some using fishing line to run behind it and break the adhesive.

The new wheels do look great!

Great looking truck...I agree on removing the lower trim. I think the truck will look much better.

x2. The factory trim looks good to me but the stuff below it just looks cheap in my opinion. Otherwise looks great

Thanks for the positive feed back. Winter is slowly setting in here in Iowa, so the trim removal might wait until spring. We shall see.

not a bad idea as it'll protect it from salt/stone chips for the winter. Have a couple chips on the bottom of my door since I put the duratracs on

The bottom of my back bumper has gotten beat up since the level. Previous owner was a banker and the truck had never seen a gravel road until the day I bought it. Now i need to figure out how to protect the back bumper better. Different mudflaps maybe.
