It'll be different... first, because everyone seems to go up in wheel diameter rather than down, and second, because I haven't seen a single Magnetic truck with bronze wheels. I really like how it looks on blue.
These wheels are going to hasten my plans to de-chrome, because between Magnetic, bronze, chrome, and black, there's too much going on.

I'm very, very happy with this.
Front: 40-3/16"
Rear: 40-1/4"
I haven't put on the center caps yet. I'm going to spray the polished metal on the caps with Magnetic. I placed the order for paint this morning for the grille, door handles, mirror caps, fender badges, and tailgate applique.
This is coming together nicely. I think I'd like to add a little rake, but I'm done with big purchases for a while. Maybe later in the year I'll add rear shocks, a 2" AAL, and remove the rear block. That should give me close to 3/4" rake.

Incidentally, this is what a 2" level install looks like without an alignment:
Yikes.
Toe is now back to hundredths of degrees on both sides.

Looks great, now you just need some PTM door handles & mirror caps, and XLT lower window sills.

Outside shot. Definitely needs cleaning:
I also added my aux fuse panel today:
The 4 AWG cable goes from the positive terminal, loops to the right of the battery through a 50-amp fuse, and then back up to the fuse block. There's enough slack so that I can lift the main fuse block lid if I need to.

Full lock to the right.
Driver's side, front crash bar:
Passenger's side, rear crash bar:
I've got more than an inch of clearance front and back.

6,125 miles
I installed underhood LED strips today.
I'm still waiting on the pin switch which should close to ground when the hood opens.
I also started on my custom Paramount grille last night. Paint should arrive today.
