Thanks guys. It'll be dirty soon enough. A dirty truck is a good looking truck.

Top notch bro! I wasn't sure if the smaller shoes would look good on a lifted truck, but it turned out great! You got the best of both worlds - good selection! I'm envyous

Thanks Chris. Im pretty happy with the way it turned out and I didn't notice any power loss at all. They are one inch taller than stock but smaller than what most people run with the 2 inch lift.

Gotta love visa. Mine got a workout this week with these and I put rims on my wife's CRV today also. I gotta lay low for a while.

I spent 4 grand on this truck since I got it in December.

The rims and tires looks good on your ride. I like the stance on your truck, it looks balance. I was going for Truxx lift but it seems that Greg lift looks alot higher and it only 2in/1.5block I think I going toward PRG. Anyways, your truck looks bada**. Again bro, thanks for the info..

I haven't put gas in it yet so I don't have any numbers for you but the gauge seems to be moving towards E a lot slower compared to the 275 70 16 BFG AT's I just replaced. I'll post mpg here after my next fillup.

Thanks. I got the results I was looking for. I like a couple inches of gap between the tire and the fender lip and that's what I got.

I don't know much about the Truxx lift but I can say this about PRG. Their stuff is top notch for quality and fit. I can't even tell it's in there when driving the truck. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Raise the truck a couple inches for a little bigger tire without affecting ride. I wouldn't buy suspension stuff from anyone but PRG. It's that good!

I have pics under both weather conditions taken with the same camera and you would swear it was two different trucks. I think it looks good with tinted windows and chrome wheels and bumpers.
New color to me. I like it. Great job on the wheels and tires as well.
