Just my opinion but I think they look terrible. There not big enough, the blue on the tires is gay, and the chrome on the end of the rims ruins the look.

But what ever you like is what you should get.

Nice purchase.

I think it looks great. Its not an escalade so it dosent need anything bigger and its 4wd so anything bigger with low profile tires would defeat the purpose and all new tires come with that blue over the letters to protect them all you have to do is wash it off :rolleyes: I think it really sets the truck off great tho.

Do you have any sense of style? Well judging by your statement I'll take that as a no.

The rims looks great man! Definitely set the truck off quite nicely and as ATVKid said, thats how ALL new tires come with white lettering, steal wool takes it right off and only the white will show.

But congrats again on the purchase. :)

Nice, I cranked the torsion bars on my f250 ALL the way and it rides just fine! Now If I could only get rid of the humming from my tires! ;)

If you crank your t bars don't crank them all the way. It will pramaturly wear out your ball joints and stuff. I cranked the ones on my ranger 5 turns on each side and it rode about another inch higher. Rides just the same.

I like the black rimes. I was thinking of getting black my self. get some blackouts for the head and taillights. Black tint. Maybe a nice black pinstripe and it will look awesome!

nice rims...IMO the truck looks better with the front end sitting lower like that

the truck looks extremely good now man, those rims and tires really set it off. if i was you i would tighten them bars up and even the truck out, i hate how chevy makes there trucks look like the front shocks are blowed out. but IMO i think it would look better evened(sp?) out.

i planned on doing it a little bit no so its completely even just so it dont look like a drag car trying to catch some areodynamics

10-4..... its just you can see the forward tilt on some chevy's alot better than other one's... like the new 2 wheel drives, it seriously looks like the suspension on the front is just blowed... but either way you do it your truck still does, and still will look good.

If you crank you're torsions you HAVE to go with a long front shock or make a spacer on the top or bottom to compensate for it, its not the cranking that makes it stiffer. When you crank you're torsion bars on the chevy it takes the shock out of its regular travel and thats what gives you the rough ride. I used a Cognito leveling kit to do mine and it turned out great rides better then stock and corects the ball joint so you don't get premature wear on them.


Hears mine with a 305 55 20 wich is basicly a 33X 12

a buddy of mine has a duramax with his torshion bars turned up with no spacers or any other things he said all he did was turn and go, i didnt plan on turning them till level just so when i pull a trailer it would level out a little bit but nice truck its my dream :)
