Two-tone blue n white, loose the rails, powder coat the wheel centers gun-metal grey. And that would be off the charts. (imho)

Re: Which one looks best?

This isnt as good of a manipulation of the photo as Chromaholic's but it shold represent what an air ride setup would allow without cutting the bed floor or removing the inner fenders.I copied and pasted usnig MS paint but rather quickly so the area around the truck doesnt look as good . It also sort of shows what the all blue truck would look like .

I agree, either that one or the two tone with the blue roof look best to me. I know the two tone with white roof is more accurate, but I think its too much white.

Re: Which one looks best?

Frank you need to pick your three favorite pics and do a poll. I do feel that your last pic is a close representation of how it would look bagged. I appears the rear is a bit lower than the front. In reality it would sit closer to level with the AOL system.

It helps to see exactly what it would look like . What do you think ? Another option would be a 2.5/4 drop on 15x7 and 15x10 Rallys.
