The stance in the rear on your truck is awesome. That is what I am going for on mine, close. Is that a Mar-K rollpan?

Thanks for the help

They are just bright enough in the daylight and fairly bright at night. Of course they are under 4 coats of paint and a few coats of clear. we sprayed and tested after 2 coats of base, and decided on two additional coats.

I did the switch to 345/19's more for height than width. if you put the wheels side by side, there is a little difference in width, but the shape of the tire is a little different too. the Michelins seem a little more squared off at the shoulder. 335/345/355 all probably look the same from a rear view. I'm usually powersliding mine sideways through the first three gears, so the vaporized rubber hides the view of the tires for the most part.

Rollpan, tailgate, header panel, bed strips, latch kit, bolts and wood are all Mar-K. I used the stock bedsides and fenders, that's about it. I used their regular smooth rollpan with the license plate box, then cut the slots for the lights.

As far as the help, that's what this forum is all about! I like the way you did the back of your cab - I only welded the seam, but yours look even better with that peak rolled out the way you did it.
