Looks real nice. Keep the tires just drop the back end to leval it out.

If you want the stock wheels try a used whee/tirel shop they might have some take off's or try Houston's craigslist you might get lucky if you find some on the east side of town going to Galveston PM I can check them out for you.



you need to get some 18's stock ones are nice. then level i, do not drop. that is a real truck you own, it needs to treated as such. to do that you need to fix that wheel/tire combo..

the 04 wouldn't have been my first choice as they have the split lights, different front end, a narrower front track and the leaf sprung front end. BUT, if the price is right for you then screw what i think.. great color!!

Yea if anything the front will go up to level. The 04 really isn't where I wanted to be but the 05's were just to pricey for me and I fell in love withthis one.

As for the wheels I just got word that spacers are needed for stock wheels 05+ on my 04 :(.

And Dave I like your front end alot and will make the swap when I can find the parts. But about your tune. How agressive is it?

the tune i use is SCT's most aggressive "canned" tune. i want to get a innovative diesel tune or the famous "looney" tune but after studs.

as far as the stock wheels. the 02-04 used leafs right. well they also have a narrower track and less offset i believe. the 05 and up use a wider coil sprung track and therefor have a better turning radius and different offset

Any worry with your tune and motor? What mods have you done to it so far like egr or coolant? Do you have a handheld or livewire and realtime readouts?

Yea that's what I've been hearing and hopefully these spacers will work on some stock wheels but if not I'll get some aftermarket I guess or just save up to do an 05+ axle swap.

i do worry when its gets really hot out. but i am just hammering it anyway. i am sure the prev owner got the bad high silica coolant out. the sct live wire is real time.. i do want to do a EGR delete soon.
