And I put my Boss wheels on the truck, 275-35-20 on the back
And 255-40-18 on the front..

I also did the Dakota Digital gauges like the ones you are installing. I love them, especially if you get some of the add on modules. Very cool truck!

I only added the Gear Shift Indicator so that I could go with a column shift and eliminate the indicator on the column. If I had it to do over again, I might add the GPS/Compass/Altimeter or Compass/Outside Air modules and the light dimmer (without it you can program the light level it just isn't easily adjusted anytime you want) and the Retained ACC Power w/ Headlight & Dome Light Control module would have been cool and lastly might have been the Cruise Control set up. But after the price of the gauges and they are super cool, I held off on the other things. I could always add some of them later too. The gauges light up blue that matches the push button start and radio control set up nicely.

I have so many parts and tools, and not enough space, so build a extra floor in my garage.
