Re: how about a "SHINY" shop truck ?

If I owned your truck, I would lower it the 2"/4", put some wheels of your choice on it (garage the current wheels) and enjoy the truck. the shop tuck thing is kinda old/over done/better on worn-out looking trucks...
If given the option... I would drive your truck as is, way before any "shop truck" ever.
Don't get me wrong, I think the shop truck think is kinda cool, I'm thinking of splattering something on my rusty/running/parts donor truck... but, its just because it's there... and not nice looking.
Your truck is the truck most other trucks dream to be. Don't cheap'n the truck by putting it in the "pulled from a field and slapped together" class.

When your truck pulls up next to a "shop truck", I'm bettin' their oil sinks lower in the pan and they lose some air in their tires... if you know what I mean.
