Trucks new Look!

Got rid of the 285s and black wheels and got some OEM 20's with Nittos and a Kobalt toolbox. Much more practical and better gas milage!

Sorry to see the black rims go but if you're getting better mpg's then good on you! Getting rid of the lift kit will help your mpg's as well.
Marine because.

I am running 275/55-20's right now. And yeah I like the truck box I got it at lowes. Also, I do not have a lift kit but I do have hte leveling kit. Also, it was a trade so they are gone sorry man.

Crazy thing is with the tool box is they try to sell you the clamp on kit but you can't use that with our bedliners so I had to take the bedliner out to run bolts from the bottom of the bed rail. there was so much crud unerneath the bedliner i'm glad I cleaned it out cause it would def cause rust over the years i recommend that to everyone.

I recommend to any truck owner to get rid of plastic bed liners and get the spray or roll in liners. But that's only my opinion.

I like the plastic because you cannot dent the bed. But I've never had a line x

Twday what did those factory 20's come off of? I can't seem to find those anywhere. All I seem to come across are the similar 18's like I have currently, or the chrome clad 20's. I prefer the alloy over the chromed.
