Lowered with the wheels as they are.....painted or Esky handles, and tint. Looks great! Not sure about the black wheel thing, but us East Coast guys are usually about 4-5 years behind you West Coast guys. I'm sure they will be popular here by 2010.

I can't believe that I'm going to say this, but I say leave it stock height. I love the stance of your truck, and I think lowering it on those big tires just won't look right. And I wouldn't powdercoat the wheels at all.

I would get Escy handles, de-badge it, and paint the bumper cover and air dam body color. I guess I missed something...what happened to the Gibbs cover?

I can't say for sure, but I think they will fit. Just depends on how much weight transfer I get at the track. But I will also have the option of cranking the Caltracs if need be.

Personally, I think your truck looks fine stock. I would NOT lower it unless you install helper bags. Don't get me wrong...I love the look of lowered trucks but it should only be done on 1/2 ton trucks. Lowering a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck does not make sense to me.

it looks great stock and noone would ever look at it and think anything other than 'damn, thats a truck'. sure sport trucks are great but the more u lower it the more uniform that truck is going to look to everyother lowered extended cab...

I defintley agree, I think your truck looks PERFECT the way it is, Its an HD it shouldnt be lowered, would make it look silly IMO, IT looks very BADASS with the wheels on it the way it is. But i would take the molding off .
