agreed 100% on the flares. I think you could go either way with the paint, but I do think leaving black will tie everything together a little better. Love the rims. I like my STX rims a lot, but those SVT rims sure are tempting to go after

That wheel/tire package looks great especially on the blue flame. I dig it

I vote for PTM fenders and raptor running boards

Looks awesome...What gears do you have, what setting on your bilsteins and any rubbing?

Thanks! I have 3.55 gears and really don't notice a lot of performance difference with the taller tires (we'll see for sure when I next pull my 24' enclosed trailer). The Bilsteins are at the max height setting and I did get a slight rub on the RF tire while turning left in to my parking lot at work this morning. I need to see where it's hitting.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I have 3.55 LS and am running my bilsteins at 3rd notch (1.75). I want to upgrade to 35s when my current 33's wear out. Good to hear I may not need to regear.

that blue flame super cab you've got there is a knock out of the park! Nicely done.

I have the FX4 tails as well and would like to get rid of that white edge. Might be a stupid question, but did you paint the edge on the inside or outside of the lens?
