Since you tinted the taillight I'm going to suggest led bulbs they are much brighter then the normal bulbs so they will show up better.
I read somewhere u need an inline resistor with the led bulbs tho.

Tinted tails make is alot harder for the person behind you to see the lights do insurance might have an issue with them if you ever get hit from behind just a thought

wow its been awhile since i posted , well it wasn't this week but last thursday went to go talk to some girls i hadn't seen in a while , and went to get out of my truck , my interior handle decided to come with me. so saturday i stole one off of one of the old farm trucks , topped of the oil and started to tear my tire apart , found out it had an exacto blade in the tread that cut down into my tire . still have to go and put a patch onto it . slowly getting there been driving with my spare on for3 months now so not a big rush.

Quick question , i was able to get some super swampers tsl 31x9.50xr15 for dirt cheap that look brand new anyone know if they will fit on the truck with stock suspension?

Looking good there NFL!

@Cole.Jace, you should be able to run those tires no problem since thats about the same as the stock 265/75r15 size on my Bronco.

No problem whatsoever. I run Mickey Thompson MTZs in 32x11.50x15 on my '95 with stock suspension. Got the MOOG CC844 coils on the way though to level out the front.
