Havent decided on the color but i do know it will be a flat color. Black, dark blue, something like that. Dont want it to be too nice cause i want to drive it and not worry about it.

You should care. Why doesn't it ride very good?

looks good ! those low profile tire's ride a little rougher than a stanard tire. thats what I got for mine, I'll sacrafice a little ride comfort for the look. I think my air bags will make up the ride quality.

My guess is the 3" springs. I suggest getting rid of those, replace your shocks if you havent and enjoy the ride.

The truck looks great now, and will look much better with paint. Take pride in your ride...:metal:

Dont get me wrong guys it doesnt ride that bad, it just doesnt ride like it used to. I like the stiffer ride of a lowered vehicle anyways. Its got Belltech shocks on all 4 corners, and the 3 inch springs are stayin!! LOL If i could go a little lower i would!!
