So I got some plans for the truck in a month or 2 and wanted to see what yall thought. First off I want to get a leveling kit, getting powder coated from autospring. Then I want to get tires for sure, I like to go mudding but not very hard. So what type of tires should I get that look good but won't wear down really fast? What size would look the best? Should I get my taillights night shaded or leave them as is? Also should I get chrome handle cover or just leave them black? I would go with the black out look, but to many people around MS have that so I'm going chrome! Almost forgot getting straight pipes also! Also I already have hid's in both Fogs and lows and window tint, and will be staying with those rims! Opinions?

When you mean wheel spacer you like to extend your wheels out?

I think you will have a real sharp truck when your done! And I would deffinately suggest the Hankook dynapro MT tires. I had em on my old truck and people were complimenting them when it had 50% tread. My dad just put a leans new set on his Jeep too and they're bad ***!

sounds like you have a good plan, the tough part is sticking to the plan and not over doing it
