I went with aftermarket wheels (centerline) and for some reason It just doesn't look the same and I don't realize it till i look at earlier pict's like I'm doing with yours. You have a beautiful truck either way but there is something about those ralley's and stock height. Thanks for sharing your pict's and no we are never through...at least for me...don't think i'll ever be satisfied.
I appreciate your honesty. Funny you should say that because the two techs who did the work on the truck were disappointed I was dropping it as well. I am keeping the rallys (all four are 15x10) so that I can easily swap them out but may have to get some 15x8's for the front. The choice of chrome rallys is a long story and not my first choice. 17" billets planned for it some day.
But I am happy with the drop. Installed new KYB shocks/ball joints/poly sway bar bushings that will help with the handling as well. Wheels are an easy (but not necessarily cheap) way to change the look, so I can change it depending on my mood.

I agree with ya 100%!!! I kept my rallys as well and I'm glad...almost sold them a couple of times but when I get in the mood I can just throwem on and wala...back to stock I go. I'll say it again, you have a beautiful truck and that baby doesn't need anything else but driven. ya have any pictures of the interior???
