Grand Total - $4131

Also, I had to pay to mount, balance and transfer the tpms sensors from the old rims to the new rims, and then with an alignment on top of all that, it will add roughly another $300 to the grand total. I had to purchase new tpms bands for the new rims since you can't reuse the bands off the stocks rims. They were like $33 a piece.

Congrats on a sick looking truck. Still trying to make up my mind as to whether or not I like the hood scoop though. Really digging the fenders too

Looks amazing! I just went with the same rim in a 17x9 on 33's...what a difference the 20's on 35's make...absolutely beautiful.

If your interested, I would love to grab that level kit off of you...PM me, I could paypal anytime!

Yeah I'm actually not as pleased with the scoop as I thought I would have been. I had seen it on other trucks and really liked it, but I just don't get the same feeling when I put it on mine. I saw a guy around town the other day that had 2 scoops on his, but it was a whole new hood. Looked way better than mine, but oh well. I can live with it.

I've only got a couple hundred miles on them right now, but I'm very pleased so far. I wish I could compare them to having the spacers on instead, but I didn't use them, nor have I ever driven a truck with them. It does ride a little rougher than with the leveling kit that I previously had on, but I was honestly expecting it to be worse that what it is. So overall, I'm pleased with the way they turned out.
