Ha, ha! I actually just rinsed it off because it had mud slung all over it! It's definitely going to be a lot dirtier now that the tires stick out so far.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Can you take a pic from the front and side with the wheels straight? Also do you have any rubbing issues when turning? Seems that in reverse they show up easier.

Look up "reflective 4x4" or "Weston signs decals" on eBay. They have a great selection and their prices are good. I'm going to be swapping this one out for a silver/black one as soon as it warms up outside.

Again, thanks everyone for the compliments. I will try and snag some better pics this weekend (front and back as well).

Yes, it did rub intially, but we cut a lot of material out of the plastic fender liners and now it is much better. There is still a little bit of rubbing in reverse with the wheel fully turned - I will investigate that soon. No ball joint grinding was necessary with the +18 offset and wheel adapters. Overall, I am very pleased!

Here are some updated pics of the truck. I haven't really noticed a dramatic decrease in fuel mileage.

Yes, with the tires, it's more like a 4" total lift.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
