| Looks real good man. I do believe thats the way they should look when they roll off the assembly line! That body style has a real aggressive look, and the big bold lines dwarf small tires. Amazing how much character, and attitude is added by a little larger tire, and some lift. Again, looks real nice. |

| i'm not a real fan of the new body style, but the truck looks good. i think the fender flares help it out some too.

| I think the look of the new 1500's are mean just like 75 said, and I agree, they should all have larger tires from the factory, the ones they come with make the whole truck just look wrong, infact they may seel more if they did that...lol... Anyways, looks awesome dude....

| Yeah, that really looks great. Hope that simple, what are the steps you have done to make it that beautiful? Did you add any header pipe? tell me some secrets dude. Last edited by mudseeker; 10-24-2008 at 04:09 AM. Reason: remove link |

| In the front all that was used was different torsion bar keys and shock extensions, in the rear we used 2" likt blocks and an extra leaf spring (one on each side) along with longer u-bolts, overall lift was 3" over stock. Just so you know doing the torsion bar keys were a ***** and i`ve been in scary conditions before and that was one of the top three for scaryness for installation. the rear end was straight forward, only took 3/4 hour for the rear (2 guys) and the front took about 2.5hrs.
