Newer trucks/looks
Has anybody noticed that most of the newer trucks don't look very good stock but throw a lift under them and they come to life?

I know what you're talking about. Since mine is a 2WD, I don't plan on lifting it, but I always stare at it and picture it with a front leveling kit and imagine it would look SO much better. I hate the front rake that is has. One of these days, I'll have the spare $$, and I'll level it out.

Yeah, a leveling kit would look good on your truck.

Yeah. I remember when the new model silverado came out. I hated it, but a dealer down here (i dont know if it was a nation wide thing) lifted several new silverado's (4" for the 1/2 ton and 6" for the 3/4) and they looked gorgeous

Hate the rake look too. My Avy looks like it is sniffing the ground. Love the look of the newer trucks when lifted.
