Still need tires but the truck is moving in the right direction.
De-cranked the front, and built the bags for the rear. The currently are on a shrader valve because I have to mount the compressor, tank, and noids but that will come this week. I haven't looked but is there anywhere I can get black lug nuts for out trucks?

I think 245's or 55's would look killer, but my 01 has 275/55/20 and I get wheel rub turning down my drive way, anyways those wheels look like 20's with that tire on them

Rides great. I am going to get pancake bump stops for the front. I had the same thing done to my Tahoe for 2 years and she rode great. With the factory bump stops it hits them a little bit on bigger bumps.

As for the tires they ride fine again except for larger bumps. I am going to ruin the wheels soon between curb rash or pot holes/junky roads in general.

Dear lord. I think it looks worse. Go sell some blood or a kidney but get some tires soon.

It will 1000x better once you get tires.

Honestly not sure. I will ask him when makes them.

I need tires soon for looks and so I don't kill the wheels.

Please don't post anymore pictures until you get some tires on there.

Good looking wheels though
