original plan was to lower it on oem 20's. couldn't find a deal on them and i needed tires bad. was rushed and got frustrated so i put in ford keys (no spacer) and bought 295/70/17 nitto tg's and 17x9 matte black liquid metal gatlins. (-10 offset 4.5" bs)

spring plan is remove the molding, do something with the tailpipe and do 35% tint. 2.5" bilsteins 5100's are in the mail.

if it gets old, i could always sell these to my brother and lower it.

I think it looks great! Similar to the stance I was wanting (until I realized I wouldn't fit in the garage if I lifted it even just a little bit). Much improved IMO.

I am doing the same thing. I was going to just keep the stock wheels but those look much more badass that I am definitely spending my money on wheels instead of fog lights. lol Too many things to buy but not enough money!

What year is your truck? Got any pictures? Some years with certain wheels look bad ass if built right.

I like how it sits now, and putting back the roof rack could work but will not really add/take away from the current look.

I thought that same thing. I have the same tires in 285's on the way and got to looking at my truck since I did the same as you.

Since I haven't polished out the roof yet give me a week or so and I will throw mine back on when I get the Tires on.

I have an 04 yukon with the stock wheels. I am not sure what size they are stock because I haven't been looking too much into wheels. But i am getting 285's and a leveling kit.
