Way too flashy for me.

I'm not much into DWR trucks but I saw one sitting on a lot near Des Moines IA that actually was a nice build. It was an F450 Plantinum with a Kelderman suspension, some 22" American Force wheels and a heavy duty front and rear bumper.

I'm not a Chevy fan, but if it gets the job done for the guy, then good for him!

I don't believe that is a Chevy , and this seems to be the trend everywhere right now.
I don't like the low profile tires , 30 something inch rims , and wheels sticking out of the body look at all .

I would have added flares for those tires. Whats too much bling? Big house? Expensive shoes? Fancier wheels? Carpet instead of vinyl floors? I love lifted trucks lol. Had them since I was sixteen. I think it looks sweet, provided it's built SAFELY. The thing is, they make these trucks already look so good from the factory a lift and tires will make it look pretty blingy anyways. I agree with that. Keeps the aftermarket thriving with jobs. This is the truckers dream, be creative. Cheers.

I guess I can agree with that. It's the old "to each his own". And at least he is using his as a truck.
