    So far I have the Rhino Wheels, All Country Tires, and a leveling kit on my new truck, but something seems to be missing to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I want it to look a little more beefy and don't know what it needs. Any ideas?

    Lose the air-dam, mud flaps, racks, badges and add a shell, tint and a Pro grill. Boom, done.

    Ditch the chin and put some mud on it. Looks way too clean.

    Needs some pinstripes too.

    I agree with @Shwaa Pro Grille. I put one on my black 4x4 Sport DCSB and it is AWESOME.

    Maybe not sliders, but the stock steps look pretty good to get some "beef" working...
