Default Sterling Grey Limited

They never made them in this color, nor could i have afforded it anyway...but this is next best thing for me. Stock suspension for the time being on some worn 305/40's. Hoping to install the 2.5" level when i get the PowerStops upgrade next week. Also plan on running a 305/45R22 Hankook ATM to give it a beefier look. My initial plan was to powdercoat these the FX grey of my 20" wheels but having second thoughts beings its not reversible. Thoughts?

I like it, a lot actually. I would go the opposite way, leave the limited wheels alone and do small drop instead of a lift.

I definetly say go for a slight lift. I'm truck guy that uses a truck for a truck. Lowering it would do me no good. It's a beautiful truck tho.

Maybe down the road. It's not like a 2.5" level is difficult to remove.

If it's a 4x4 lift it. If it's a 2wd, lower it with airbags.

Maybe it's the angle but I think it looks great the way it is. Those 22's are one sexy OEM wheel. I think it takes ***** to run them with such a small sidewall. Props to you.

If you're hellbent on painting them FX grey, use plastidip. That way you can switch it back if you don't like it.

Bumping to the 305/45 will give it a little extra sidewall which i prefer. This is the look i'm going after.
