By the way, I love those wheels. They look really good black like that.
Thanks! I really like how the rims turned out.

I've debated about a body lift but I don't have the tools to do it myself so I'd have to get it installed. I got a quote for $500 (install + parts). I'd also like to get some new stiffer shocks. Perhaps once I get a little more expendable cash I'll get it done.
Does the extra 2" really give you that much more clearance?

The carpet in the back was pretty messed up so I started to remove a patch and realized the whole mat underneath was soaking wet so I decided to remove all the carpet and put a rubber mat down.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to get a set of center caps.

So I was debating about painting the chrome strip black and after seeing how well dustinhxc's Jimmy looked with the black strip I decided to do it.

Also did a little off roading and got the truck a little dirty :

Thanks! I agree. It makes the wheels look that much better too.
