    Oh jeeezus !! yellow coils ?? yeah I'd def throw some kind of other color at those, pretty sure this was just some cheap krylon maybe medium blue or regal (not royal its way darker) blue , think maybe a light gun metal gray would look good

    I like the blue. These would be for my Jeep, the blue would look good under the silver body.

    There is some rubbing. I haven't trimmed or altered anything yet. I'll check it out once it's not 30°F outside everyday. I like to work on the truck but only when it's warm.:wink:

    Other than the rubbing everything is great. The ride, handling and breaking I have no complaints. I have the All-Pro Skids and a Warn M8000 and everything seems great.

    I like the skinny tires, the aggressive tread is cool looking.
