Two Part Question
 
#1 - I know there's conversion kits, upgrades, downgrades and everything in the middle. Long story short I bought my truck salvage. No frame damage mostly cosmetic with the exception of a tie rod and a control arm. It's got a lot of mods which is great in some ways. I'm still looking at what I can do with the front bumper without changing the new headlights I just added. Ideas?

Side note: I have the bumper itself with the lower valance. I'm still in need of the upper valance or bumper filler but looking at maybe something outside of OEM or possibly designing something unique all together.

#2 - When I got my truck it had 35/12.50r18's I had to replace the tires quickly (snowed the day after I got it) So, got some 22's with Nitto 420s. Now I'm going back and forth trying to figure out which looks better. So, 18's with Grapplers? or 22's with some 325/55r22?

Side note: I didn't have a lot of turning radius with the 18's and gained a lot of that back with the 22's - so leaning towards the 22's but looking for opinions

18's?? (My truck)

22's? (Similar setup with same size rims and tires I'm looking at)

Maybe it's just the truck in the second pick but I would prefer the first pick. Looks meaner.

The first pic had been the first one taken when I bought her. It's what made me want her! Contacted the owner, made an offer and traveled out of state to pay cash and pick her up!

I'd stick with the 22 and go no lower than a 20" rim with no smaller than 35" tires..
Looking good already..

Keep the stock bumper.. Paint the headlight housings black, and tint the tail lights, tint the windows, and paint to match the body's fender flares and B pillars..

Already ahead of you - sorta keeping the stock bumper, the housings will be blacked out and the blacked out tails are coming in, the flares are being changed out for more dramatic flares, rims will be powder coated black, the driver/passenger will be tinted with a 15% to match the back, two step black powder coated nerfs then I'm pulling the interior to add texture,customization and refinish it after I do the sound deadening :D

And thanks! Glad to be here!
