Tires dont stick out but an inch or 2, looks real clean.

Nice upgrades! Now ditch those mud flaps.

How's the road noise with those A/T's?

A/Ts generate very little road noise. I have them. Amazing tire.

Default Yes sir
Lookin good - nice how a few small changes give the truck a whole new life. If youre into it, the leveling kit makes a big difference on these trucks. I dont have any before pictures, but check out my truck to see the results. Take care.

Thanks everyone. Im thinking of getting the Bilstein 5100s in the front to level it in a few weeks, i agree it will make it look a bit better.
