That's a beautiful and clean truck!! What brand / size wheels are those?

Tmwoodall · 12-03-2011, 09:58 PM

I don't have pictures worth sharing as I bought mine as a frame off and still don't have it back on, but for the short bit I did have it on (to move it to my new place), with the 2/4 and 20s it looks perfect IMO. It looks like it should have from the factory for a non work truck/4x4 truck. Sits nice and level too.

It is sporty without being "low."

Thanks. The wheels are 8X15 with a 4" back set, and the tires are 255/70 BFG's.
