Are those the factory 17's or 18's? What size tire are you currently running? That's the look I'm after. I don't care about a lift, I just hate all my wheel well gap. Different strokes for different folks, but I like your current stance.

I currently have my factory 18" wheels, and Toyo MT 35x12.5

I don't remember the brand, cragar maybe.. I believe I bought them from summit racing. Just plain steel wheel with 8 holes. Matched up a set of tapered lug nuts so I could reuse the factory center caps.

17x9, pretty sure there were no options for backspace but those were about 4.5 backspace.

Here is a friend of mines 8" kit. It is a Icon/One Up Offroad (OUO) setup truck. Essentially an Icon kit with OUO Adjustable Radius Arms, OUO Front Truss with OUO Diff Cover, also has the OUO coil/shock buckets up front and the rear has OUO Traction bars with the Rear Truss with OUO Diff Cover.

It is a nice setup truck.

What all would I have todo additional if I did an 8" kit? Radius arms? Different driveshaft?

Most anything past 6 inches will be a 4 link conversation. The adjustable radius arms accomplish the same adjustment you would get in a 4 link. It's a balance of castor and pinion angle because it won't be like what it was stock. I did a 14 inch on a truck, things get ugly that high. 6 inches you can usually get away without driveshaft mods but it's still good to check.
