    Slam it and leave the aesthetics alone. Looks killer the way it is!

    Put 4wd fenders on in. Get a 2nd set and cut the flares off for the rear. Wider tires n rims

    Then drop it like its hot

    Nice paint! Are you keeping the service bed on the truck? For the wheels, I would do 165/50

    4x4 fenders will make it look really good. Rockauto has them pretty cheap unpainted. I'm coming for that cluster and transmission soon by the way. I killed Old Blue and am currently very slowly tearing down the motor to figure out what I did.
