Those look good! Make sure you get some pics of them on the truck when you can.

Cool, don't forget the install pics!

Experiencing some rubbing on the driver side(because the shocks are done, but only on the mud flap) this is on stock height!

[ippielb]

All the wheels are on. Tightened the torsion bars. Raised it a good amount. But STILL rubbing on the drivers side mudflap. It really bothers me. And my bumper, seems to be warped, or bent some how, to be closer to the tire on the drivers side. Seems the Emergency brake line pushed up against the plastic shroud on the wheel well, pushing it inward, and also pushed the mud flap, and it's permanently in that shape. So, i don't know what to do with it.

Edit:
I also got a car show tomorrow, so I'll be taking pictures of my truck. Spent the money and invested in a little BowTie Pride!

those rims are sweet dude!! get some pics of the tires on the truck

[TRPLXL2]

Wow have I missed a lot around here or what? :gasp:

Your truck is going to look like a beast with those on their, well seeing as how you have rubbing now I think you need like a 12" lift to clear them! J/K but that would be sweet too, maybe the offset is just a little off or something. (I know to late to change now!) I like the black- chrome combination of the rims themselves, that is very tastefully done for sure.

BTW- "Real men wear Bowties" Great looking way to show your pride, awesome job so far! :great:

Here's the pictures, YES YES I know! I did the absolute worst job for tire shine, i was too lazy to go forward and clean more of the tire.... Sue me. lol

They look really good, nice job! :great:

[5speedsilverado]

they look bad a$$:great:

[AllBlkdOut07]

Looks great, love the tire and rim combo! I think your truck would look cleaner(and higher) without the side steps.

[TRPLXL2]

Alright I just saw the new pictures of them actually on the truck, they go nice with the chrome accents on your truck. I can see I will have to give you a lesson on tire shine, after I do mine I can see my reflection in them. :lol: The truck is really starting to come together now, and the exhaust and the bowtie really set off the back of the truck now. Keep up the great work! :great:

[ippielb]

Yeah, i really like the look my truck has now. I don't want to get rid of the step bars because I like having something to rub the mud off my shoes on. And something to step on when getting in and out of the truck. Thank you for the positive comments.

[jerrynino]

what about some other kind of step bars? some not so thick? and damn those tires look great, kinda look like mine but more chrome which is nice... what tire combo sizes do you have on there? im gonna lift my truck in the future and want 20s on there... and your wheels look great

[CarpenterGuy]

That looks BEASTLY

[trimhalifax]

Nice combo choice. They really set off your truck

[ippielb]

33"x12.50R18 Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain's, with 18"x9" Ion Alloy 179. Stock height with tightened torsion bars.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone! I'm really glad i got these new tires, they hardly throw any stones, my speedometer hardly reads any different, they are very quiet on the highway compared to others. And those rims makes peoples heads turn everywhere!

[Pete95Sierra]

thsoe look amazing dude!!! your truck is coming along quite well

[Blazedhertrails]

[poncho08]
