    Thanks I really like the 3rd gen rims so much classier than ours. But now they have quite a bit of rock rash.

    Agree. Although my stock rims have grown on me quite a bit. I really wanted a set of 3rd gen OR rims when I first got my truck, but there are a few dudes around my town with them on 2nd gens already. They look awesome, but I’m a hipster at heart and have to be different lol

    I just want my stockers to be bronze. Thinking about trying out the bronze plastidip to see if I really like the look, then maybe powder coat bronze down the road.

    With skinnies that will look great. Any plans for a lift?

    Looks good with a stock truck... doesn't look good with a beefed up truck.

    Agreed to a point think rims make all the difference on a modded truck

    If you're trying to lift on the cheap, and get the same results... then get some 3rd gen TRD OR front coilovers and add a spacer for 2" of front lift.

    I don’t really want to go the spacer route (except the 1/4” taco lean spacer), plus I like the color of the headstrong coils.

    :cool:

    I rode in a 5100/OME coil lift truck, and the ride was identical to my truck... my spacers are .5" thick, so they'll add 1" total plus another 1" from the heavier 3rd gen coil.

    I only spent $30 for the front suspension spacer... thanks to Chad for giving me his 3rd gen coils for free.

    So what do you think? I'd say you go the route I decided to take... same amount of lift, and ride quality as the $600 5100/OME route.
