Updated 7-26...New pic's down toward the bottom

Hey guys just picked up my new truck on Monday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1: Drove str8 to the tint shop after pickup to match the rear factory tint (20%).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2: Drove 12 hours round trip to Dallas to pickup some 07' OEM 22'' Escalade Wheels. These SOB's weight 88lbs with the wheel and tire....18 lbs more than the stock 18'' wheel and tire..


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 3: Installed 2'' ground force drop shackles in the rear...


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what she will look like when I paint/line-x the inside of the rear fender. Well my best photoshop effort anyway...lol! The white inside is really killin me...




I'm trying to keep the rear slighty higher than the front so when I pull my boat (3,500lbs tandem trailer) it won't look like she is hurting from the tounge weight...I still want it to be a truck since I do some light towng/hauling....just want a better stance than stock

Very nice!! I say one at the dealership a few weeks ago, I resisted test driving it cause I knew I would end up buying it.....

did it come with those chrome handles? My dad just bought a new crew cab and it came with the plastic ones, he is wanting to switch...

Really nice truck. I want to test drive it but I would also have the same problem, I'd want it. 88 lbs thats a lot of weight....

Sweet truck!!! I'd say if you ever take that thing to the track find some lighter wheels. 88lbs is freakin heavy!!

Thanks man! Yea I'm getting out of a Nissan Titan...I had it runnin 14.0's in the 1/4 on headers, tune, catback and intake (bone stock motor)....Put a custom tuned MP112 on her and roasted 3 trannies with no way to resolve the tranny problemo....to much down time on a daily driver...so here I am fixing to try to break another one....lol!
