Man the color with those wheels looks amazing. Please ditch those headlights tho. Their horible and scatter light everywhere. (if they are the fake projector headlights they look like)

Also hows the side it rolled on look like?

Yeah the head lights suck, I just haven't gotten around to changing them yet. And the side it was rolled on looks as good as new, I'll try to post another pic.

Did you paint the side walls? It looks like the one in the back isn't all the way around. Definitely unique look though, bonus point if they do blue smoke haha

No I didn't paint them, I forgot to tell them to put the black letters out when I had the tires put on so I have to go back and have them switched sometime.

I have the same color and year model as your truck, looks great! Tell me more about your build, what lift did you use and what mods did you have to do to get the 33" to fit? If any.

3 inch spacer lift with rear lift blocks from supreme suspensions, around $180 on Amazon. Put a 17x9 with a -12 offset and 33x12.50s. I didn't have to modify anything to fit the 33s with the lift, the only thing I had to change was I had to trim the corner of the lower valance part of my bumper on both sides to keep from scrubbing.
