    You can get silver+red Ranchos with an adjustment knob to give you the illusion of control. Comes preassembled for 2.75" lift.

    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    I have the OME shocks on my runner a 1inch body lift and 34 inch tires I hardly ever notice the color of the shocks. Just go with 5100's then if color really bothers you. My shit is covered in mud half the time you can't see them anyway.

    I'm sure your paint job wouldn't look any worse then the paint job thats already on them, I've them in person and the paint job is nothing special.

    Rough em up a bit with sand paper, can them black a few times and call it done. Its not like people will get under your truck and examine the paint on your shocks.

    Dude, your main issue is that you hate the Steelers colors.

    And bumble bees.

    Seriously, paint them and before you know it they'll be filthy anyways.
