so all this talk of wheels, bumpers, and mods overall has me stuck. Im looking to do new mods as well but I can't for the life of me stay set on one and since y'all would be the first group id go to for this, I need some help. The mods I'm juggling around are either tow mirrors and some nfab steps, a roof mounted 50 inch light bar, or sell/trade my wheels and either get 20x12 fuel octanes or 20x9 fuel trophy.

I also like the second. I really don't like the random adding of colors to trucks personally.
I love my NFAB step bars, and they look great, but they SUCK for actual use. They're alright for getting into the truck, but the steps aren't in the right place for getting out of the truck. Tow mirrors are good, I'd get those and/or steps before a light bar.
There's no "need" for new wheels though. I still can't decide between 20x10 Mavericks or 20x12 962's, but I think I'm going Mavericks cause I don't trust tires to wear evenly on 20x12s. Plus I've got a basically brand new front end that I'd prefer not to mess up, and I don't want to stress out the wheel bearings either. I also don't think 12 wides fit your truck. 9s would look better with your "bulky" and "stout" look you've got going on. 20x10s with 4.5" of BS, which I know the Trophys don't come in, would give you more stance and aggression without straying from your look.

Sorry guys. Wifi is **** today at work. Having trouble loading. Brett, I agree with bama and red. Small red accents on the outside.
Bama, You got wheels, I say get the tow mirrors and a light bar instead of steps. I've just never been a fan of side steps

Thanks guys so far it's 3-0 lol
I'm gonna try and stop by some shops on my next night off and see what the damage would be price wise and how long I'd be without my truck
