Great looking truck! The stance looks perfect to me. Need more pictures.

To be fair the roush does not sing like a whipple, i can barely hear it from in the cabin. And without an exhaust (yet), there is nothing much to hear
On another note, i am looking for new wheels, i was looking really hard to find low weight wheels and i stumbled on those
Vorsteiner Venom Rev 601
at 28.5(!!!) pounds per for 20x9 +12, at the price they are selling it looks like a steal, best bang i could find, and they seem to be somewhat popular in the raptor comunity, those would translate to almost 10 pound saving per wheel (vs stock 20 inches), which is substantial. All that for 2350$ canadian. I could not find any reviews so if anyone had experience with those please tell!
Did a quick photoshop, only did the front wheel but it gives a good idea.

Thanks for the additional pics. That is a great-looking truck!
By "timeline", I meant, when might we expect to see those awesome new wheels mounted on your rig?
Can't wait!

I like the wheels and cannot believe the weight... just don't go hitting any big potholes! I haven't seen a lowered 4x4 yet, how does that all work out with the front driveshaft? any additional bracketry needed for tcase etc?

Well the wheels are flowforged and have a load rating of 900kg so should not have to worry to much with that i guest. But i'm a pro at evading potholes, this is what i used to drive :p
as for the 4wd drop, everything needed was in the box, everything seems to work fine. The only thing is that the driveshaft kind of slightly vibrate at speed between 20km/h to 40km/h , i'm bringing it to a driveshaft shop next week they will correct the angle(as this is a 2 piece driveshaft) and the length, it's probably slightly too long b/c of the drop. Other problem is that it makes some kind of spring sound at low speed when taking a bump, i'm thinking it justs need some grease somewhere, il have to investigate.
And here is a pic of the truck loaded with about 750 pounds or material, that's probably as much as i would load it without something like helper bags (not bad honestly thinking that 1/2 a ton it's rated for is only 250pounds away)
About the timeline,
I have a set of Stainless Works turbo S-Tube dual exhaust on the way, receiving it september 3rd but probablly wont have time to install it before the 7th
And for the wheels my fiance told me that i have spent enough on the truck, so i'l have to wait til she's out of town to sneak these in . On a more serious note, winter is comming fast so maybe only for next summer, i'm the kind of guy that can study my options for months before actually making the move, i still have time to change my mind about 1000 times before going for those, but so far, these are my favorite ones, only wish they made in brushed clear, as they only offer the option of black and antracite for now.
