    stock, for now
    all this suspense is built up, for a sticker so far..Damn I want my 2 minutes back..LOL


    But in all seriousness, it sounds like its gonna look kickass. I do have a low budget idea that another member came up with(forget his name)

    Lift the truck, keep your stock wheeels, but paint them to match the moto metal series wheels, and just add bigger tires. Keeps ya from spending 700 on new rims right away
