Need Ideas
To start off, I'm new to the truck world. I mean I driven trucks before, but never really got to mess around with one, this is my first truck. I always messed around with sportbikes and mustangs, so I need a little help and ideas.
I just bought a 2005 SUPER CREW CAB, all white, my theme with it is going to be white and black, I'm not a a fan of chrome. I have about $1,500 to spend on it right now, but I need new tires, but don't want to put stock looking tires, I like those big fat looking tires (don't know what you call them), need rims and also I want to lift it a little, 4" or 6" lift. I have no clue what is needed to lift a truck or clearance to fit a bigger tire without rubbing, or a good brand or place to get a good deal. That's why I need help.
Thanks in advance

This is mine with a 2" autospring and 285/70/17 BFG MT's on my stock rims. I found a good deal on the tires for $200, $75 on the 2" autospring. Mount and balance $80. New alignment and install $90. All said and done $445, and still rides as good as stock. I do wish i had the money to get some 9" wide tires.

Also, i like tirerack.com for rims.. But they don't seem to have as good of deals on tires as they do rims.

You stated above that you wanted big/fat tires, new wheels and a 4 or 6 inch lift...can't do that with $1500...U need more money...You don't have enough money for the lift ??? unless you can find a used one on ebay.

i think hes just asking what you guys/girls think would make his truck look better, $ will coma along after he finds out what he wants to do, so continuing to tell him he needs more money is pointless.
yes a 4in lift is sick and adds more hight than youd think, and id go with at least 20in rims than add what ever tires you want/like (must likely some type of mud tires)
agree with little to no crom. if you smoke out your lights and paint your stock rims itll look good until you come up with the cash for aftermarket things.
other than that its shopping around reading other posts and seeing what YOU like best.
