    I agree it needs to be not only lower, but wider. Specs are djm 3/3 drop, 17x9.75 +25, 275-40r17 nitto nt05's. theyre not really full track tires 200 treadwear rating, i got 12,000 miles out of the rears and im at 18,000 on the fronts

    Im thinking about adding bushwacker pocket flares to go wider and it will tighten up some of the wheel gap, just waiting on the illustration/rendering to get drawn up to see if i like the idea.

    yeah that might look good. im having a hard time picturing it. ive always like the way this looks. idk how much it costs to get custom fenders and bedsides made though

    edit:i guess the bedsides just have an attachment or something

    My lowered 4x4 compared to a Sittin Sic dropped XR

    Decided to measure approximate ride height differences.

    His

    Just under 30"

    I have 20" wheels, and with tires am 28" and change in over all diameter.

    He has 18" wheels. If I had the same size wheels and tires as his truck, mine would be lower. Hehe.[/QUOTE]

    V6 option in reg cabs would've been nice, turbo 5.3/6speed will do the trick though... Can't wait to dig in once it gets back from the body shop
