Talking Leveled yesterday, wheels/tires tomorrow!!

Well I finally had my truck leveled yesterday with the AS 2" kit. Sits so much better now, although it makes the tires look tiny. Driving up to NC tomorrow morning to pick up my 20" Monsters and 33" Toyo MTs.

Just ordered a gallon of hyperdressing to keep 'em shiny. Pics will follow tomorrow. Thanks to everyone from the other thread for their suggestions and help.

Thanks man, I really think new wheels/tires are the best thing I can do to my truck right now. The old ones look so shoddy...

Mooresville (Rimz One). They were close enough to drive to so I'm saving several hundred on shipping alone. Went with them because they get Toyo shipments every Wednesday and 4wheelparts is on backorder.

I had our mechanic hook me up. I didn't have the time nor the tools for the install so he put on the kit, realigned it, and threw in an oil change. I'm stoked for tomorrow!

Yeah, look for my unhappy butt. It'll be waving at you while you ride up 85 to get your stuff.

I'll be at Autobell getting the truck washed, waving @ ya.

Noooo, don't let them put swirls into your finish!! I went there once when I first owned the truck, ugh, took a DA and a whole day of polishing to get them out!
