Those tires are a little too thin for my taste, but it will all come together when it's dropped.

It's mostly a matter of taste and that has to do with what you see as you grow up more than anything. You like the look of extremely small tires and dropping the body to remove all the "air" in the wheel well. Coming from my era, I prefer more of a balanced look. Drop the body some, but still have a "reasonable" sidewall. Either way, the space in the wheel well has to be eliminated to look good.

well dont put me in the small tire category. My tires are 5% less sidewall then Pams.

secondly i can definitely appreciate a clean truck like yours that is leveled and has some nice wheels. For me though i prefer being a little lower, and getting a tight fast acting, good handling suspension.

Good morning!

Pat - I think the truck is looking really good. I can't wait to see it when you get it lowered.
