Default Finally pulled the trigger.....

After many hours of research and doing my homework since November, I finally got the wheels, tires and leveling / lift kit that I wanted, to achieve the look I was going for.


For the wheels, I ended up going with the BMF Novakane Death Metal Series, 20x9 with the 0mm offset. For the tires, I went with the Cooper Discoverer STT TEK3 with a tire size of 33x12.50R20. Finally, for the leveling kit, I went with the Auto Spring 2" kit, which comes with the 2" spacers for the front, and the 3" blocks for the rear.


During and after the installation of everything, we tested for any rubbing in the front, and, glad to say, their is no rubbing at all. Everything looks good. So, I wanted to share some pictures with all of you.


Their is one BEFORE pic, one AFTER pic with just the wheels and tires on, and then, finally, some AFTER pics with the kit on as well. Enjoy!

Awesome truck!!! Have you ever thought about cutting down on the chrome in the front? I'm not saying get rid of all the chrome, just keep a little. Either way it's a great looking truck.

Looks really good. Nice improvement! I like your lower front bumper grille too. Matches well with the c-clamp grille.

rangertamer, funny you ask that question, because I have thought about. Not sure exactly what I want to do yet, but have been thinking about it.

Looks awesome
Just PTMing the grill surround and blacking out the step bars would probably tone it down just enough.

Is there a lot of room left in the wheel wells? I had the same wheels and tires on my old truck but they are 35x12.50R20 and I wanted to put them on my new one which is exactly like yours but I didn't want to put another 6in lift on.
