The wheels and tails were a good choice!! I bet your truck rides much better now. Honestly, I didn't really like your old 20's but now your truck looks better. I've got to ask...what's up with all the residue and glue from the side moldings and emblems?? It looks really bad. You also need to clean your engine compartment, lol.

thanks for the compliments guys!

i just havent taken the time to clean off the residue form when i took them off as soon as i got the truck. i took them off, but they took pieces of paint with them, down to the metal and i rubbed some of it off until i got blisters, and i havent gone back to it yet.

the engine compartment needs cleaning BADLY.

my truck rides sooooo much smoother now, since i had a 45series tire before and now have a 70 series. the biggest thing i like about these wheels more is that the 20s were a 9.5" wide wheel and had about 1.5" not enough backspacing and they stuck out too far past the fender

i definetely have ALOT of visual upgrades left to do, mostly colormatching the textured black pieces and getting rid of all the chrome. but i cant decide what to do first, my interior, visual upgrades, or performance parts

Nice lookin mods...don't see too many Esky wheels on trucks. The 04 tails make a night and day difference too. Your truck must feel like you put a new suspension system on it...my truck is so much smoother when I put my 16's on for winter.

Looks good, Only thing I'd do is hack the use to be chrome tips off and dump it. I'm thinking about getting that intake, how do you like it so far? Get an eraser wheel for those emblems, works wonders on adhesive as long as you have a drill. No more thumb blisters.
