Looks great...

Thank you very much. Those wide tires (I also have 10" wide rims) make the truck look a lot bigger. Fill those wheel wells. And they fit real easy all I have is a 2.5 in level kit and 1" blocks in the rear. No rubbing and no problem getting the truck up and going even with the 4.2L.

Still an ugly truck, but I've slowly started working on it. Undercoated the frame and this week I put 285's on it and cranked the torsion bars. I was only able to get 23inches on the front and that was maxed out....old and wore out suspension I supposed. Anyway, it sits higher and I like it, it's close to level.

Not bad at all. I personally think the ride is much better under 24"s.

Eventually, yes. The bed that was put on didn't have them, so we have to make the holes. Another thing for another day; I'm just glad to drive it again.

What does the view look like at night with the in grill lights on? I am looking at doing a similar thing with my truck. I love the look but would like to see what they look like from the driver seat.
