I like how you kept stock rims. You didnt have to use spacers, right? And I like the no mud flap look. That is sporty.

Unfortunately, wheel spacers are required to use the stock wheels with the 35x12.5 tires. 3/4 inch would be enough to clear the upper control arms, but 1.5 inch spacers are required to run hubcentric and not have to cut down wheel studs. I think the stance came out just right. I am a fan of the stock chrome wheels with the silver/chrome truck. I would have gone with black aftermarket wheels with most any other truck color.

Looks great! So you are essentially running with a -19 offset. No issues with rub on the wheel well?

Agreed! The stock chrome wheels look really good with that silver.

Looks great! So you are essentially running with a +19 offset. No issues with rub on the wheel well?

Unfortunately, I am dealing with some rubbing. I did a little trimming and I’m going to have to do a little more. 3/4 inch spacing would have made it just right and given approximately 0 offset, but that was just not achievable with this setup. I do like the look with the extra 3/4 and I’ll get it dialed in.

This is what it looked like the day I brought her home. My kids made fun of me for buying “an old man” truck. $2500 later and I’m a cool dad again! Best part of it all is that the finished pics are 800 miles of crappy weather later, and it still looks great. I haven’t washed it yet. Silver must be the color to have for people like me that don’t wash them very often. This is my first silver vehicle.

Silver and white in my experience are very low maintenance colors. I opted for Granite this time so I'm curious how it goes.

Truck looks great, and I think the factory wheels look nice set out wider.

I agree with the silver comment and not showing dirt. Silver, white, and grey all are better at not showing the dirt as bad.

As for the heading of your post, what do you mean you are finished? Are they ever really finished?

I guess you were right. Rough country “in grille” led lghtbar w/ daytime running lights goes on this weekend. That’s it, I’m done ......

That before pic really is a paw paw truck lol. I like both.

From CD Player to USB is what I always say.

Funny. My grandsons call me pawpaw. My trucks will have bigger tires and some lift as long as I can still get in them. I just can’t leave things alone.
